Lacy Ryan (c. 16941760) was an English actor who appeared at the Haymarket Theatre circa 1709.

By 1718 he had joined the company at Lincoln's Inn Fields, where he shared the lead with his friend James Quin.[1] He took leading roles in Richard III and Hamlet with Anna Maria Seymour.[2] In 1719 he appeared in the comedy Kensington Gardens by John Leigh.

In 1732 he followed the company to Covent Garden, and there, he remained until his death. Iago, Cassius, Edgar (in King Lear) and Macduff were among his best parts.[1] Another signature part was the title role in Nathaniel Lee's tragedy Theodosius.
