Reuben Locke Haskell (October 5, 1878 – October 2, 1971) was a U.S. Representative from New York.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Haskell was graduated from Hempstead High School, Long Island, New York, in 1894.
He took additional courses at Ithaca High School in 1894 and 1895, and attended New York Law School in 1896 and 1897. In 1898 he received the degree of LL.B. from Cornell Law School in Ithaca, New York. Haskell was admitted to the bar in 1899 and practiced in New York City.
He served with the 2nd Regiment of New York Volunteers during the Spanish–American War. After the war, he served in Company's I and G of the New York National Guard's 13th Regiment, and advanced from private to corporal to sergeant before being discharged in 1902. Haskell was later active in the United Spanish War Veterans.
A resident of Brooklyn, Haskell became active in politics and government as Republican; while he was still in his twenties, he served as leader of the 23rd Assembly District Club. He was a delegate to the Republican National Conventions in 1908 and again in 1920, and served on the state Republican Committee from 1907 to 1913 and 1914 to 1919.
