Reginald Courtenay DD (1813–1906)[1] was the Anglican Bishop of Jamaica from 1856 until 1879.[2]

He was educated at Tonbridge School and Hertford College, Oxford [3] and ordained in 1841. He was Rector of Thornton Watlass from 1842 to 1853 when he became Archdeacon of Middlesex (Jamaica), a post he held until his 1856 consecration to the episcopate as coadjutor bishop (called Bishop of Kingston) of Jamaica.[4] He automatically succeeded as diocesan Bishop of Jamaica upon Aubrey Spencer's death, 24 February 1872.
