Ronald Vanneck Powell (6 May 1884 – 12 February 1930) was an English rower who twice won Silver Goblets at Henley Royal Regatta.
Powell was born at Hornsey, the son of Rev. Robert Walter Powell, and his wife Mary Caroline Hankey. He was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a member of the Pitt Club. He rowed for Cambridge in the Boat Race in 1904, 1905 and 1906. Cambridge won in 1904, but lost in 1905. In the winning crew of 1906, he was No.6 and his younger brother Eric was No. 7 behind him.
