Lionel Bale Fletcher (22 May 1877 – 19 February 1954) was an Australian Congregational minister and evangelist who held pastorates in Australia, Wales, and New Zealand.

Fletcher led successful evangelistic campaigns across Australia, the British Isles, and South Africa.

[3] "I went to bed in a violent rage," said Fletcher, "but I had gone far enough, and the mighty hand of God gripped my life that night.

"[5] Within days of Fletcher's conversion his father's journal tells of his son wanting to start "a Christian Endeavour or a young people's class.

"[6] Fletcher turned down an honorary doctorate on several occasions, but on 9 November 1951 finally accepted an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Biola University, whose president Dr. Louis T. Talbot (after whom Talbot Theological Seminary was named) was converted partly as a result of Fletcher's ministry in Sydney years earlier.
