Reginald L. Knowles (1879 – 1950) was a book designer and illustrator who worked with his brother, Horace Knowles, on a number of exquisite illustrated books in the first two decades of the twentieth century, including ^[1](1907), (1910) and (1913).

While both brothers usually share equal credit, it is understood that most of the colour illustrations and detailed were prepared by Reginald Knowles who signed "RLK" (i.e. : Everyman's Library).

The work of the Knowles' brothers drew influences from Art Nouveau, and Gothic Revival imagery.

A decade after their earliest work, Horace Knowles produced a stunning and comprehensive suite of colour and monotone illustrations for (1924).

In later life Reginald illustrated the angling books of Wilfred Gavin Brown: "My River and Some Other Waters" (1947); Angler's Almanac: Some Leaves On A River (1949).

He also illustrated the inside cover and title page of the 1933 memorial edition of The Book of Simple Delights by Walter Raymond.
