Reginald Badham Lodge (10 March 1853–13 February 1937) was an English ornithologist, photographer, and painter of birds. In 1895 he received from the Royal Photographic Society the first medal ever presented for nature photography, for a photograph of a Northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) incubating its eggs. Eric Hosking and Harold Lowes stated their belief that this was the first photograph of a wild bird.[1]

His brother was bird illustrator and falconry expert George Edward Lodge. Their father was Samuel Lodge, a canon of Lincoln Cathedral and rector of Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire.
Lodge was friends with Oliver G. Pike and they made trips together.[2]
