Sir Reginald Edward Stubbs GCMG  (Chinese: 司徒拔) was a British colonial administrator who served as governor of four British territories during his career. He was the 16th Governor of Hong Kong from 30 September 1919 – 1 November 1925.

During Stubbs' tenure, strikes were frequent, including ones that were very damaging to the Hong Kong economy, such as the Seamen's strike of 1922 and the Canton-Hong Kong strike that began in 1925.

Stubbs engaged in cordial talks with Sun Yat-sen and his supporters in Hong Kong prior to Sun's triumphal return to Canton in February 1923.
