  Ralph Norman Angell-Lane, né à Holbeach dans le comté du Lincolnshire en Angleterre le 26 décembre 1872 et mort à Croydon dans le Grand Londres le 7 octobre 1967, est un écrivain et homme politique anglais, lauréat du prix Nobel de la paix en 1933.
  
  Son essai La Grande Illusion, publié en 1910, rencontre un succès international. Selon lui, croire à une guerre entre grandes puissances est une « grande illusion ». Angell remanie cette analyse, démentie par les faits en 1914-1918, dans une version de son livre parue en 1933, où il pense que déclarer la guerre à un autre pays est contre-productif sur le plan économique.
  
  Il a été fait chevalier le 1er janvier 1931.
