Robin Bruce Lockhart (1920-2008[1]) was a British author.

He was the son of British spy R. H. Bruce Lockhart. During World War II, he served in British naval intelligence.

He wrote the 1967 book Ace of Spies about the super-spy Sidney Reilly, which was made into a 1983 television miniseries Reilly: Ace of Spies, starring Sam Neill as the title character and Ian Charleson as his father. The book was republished in 1984 as Reilly: Ace of Spies.

Bruce Lockhart converted to Roman Catholicism, and his book about the Carthusians, Half-way to Heaven (1985), developed from his own experiences as a lay guest at St Hugh's Charterhouse, Parkminster.[2]
