William Raymond Seagrove (2 July 1898 – 5 June 1980) was a British middle-distance runner who competed at two Olympic Games.

Four years later at the 1924 Summer Olympics, he again won a silver medal with 3000 m British team again.

[4][5] For a time he taught at Glenalmond College and in 1926 he founded Normansal preparatory school in Seaford, East Sussex, where he was initially the headmaster and mathematics master.

He remained actively involved in the running of the school after his retirement, and the appointment of Rex Hackett to the headship.

He was master of ceremonies and umpire at the annual sports day: eight-year-olds competed in pole vault, long jump, shot as well as the usual events.
