Reginald Tindal Kennedy "Reggie" Bosanquet (9 August 1932 – 27 May 1984) was a British journalist and broadcaster who was an anchor of News at Ten for ITN from 1967 to 1979.
Bosanquet, of Huguenot descent, was the only child of the England cricketer Bernard Bosanquet (credited with inventing the googly). His great-great-grandfather was Sir Nicolas Conyngham Tindal, Lord Chief Justice (1829–1843), through whom Bosanquet was senior lineal representative of the ancient Scales barony, although he never sought to establish his claim to the title and a seat in the House of Lords.
Bosanquet was educated at several independent boarding schools: at Ashbury College in Rockcliffe Park in the city of Ottawa; Wellesley House School, in the seaside town of Broadstairs in Kent; and Winchester College in the city of Winchester in Hampshire, before going up to New College at the University of Oxford, where he read History.
