Reginald Alexander O. "Rex" Norris (18 July 1899 – September 1980) was an Indian field hockey player who competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics. Norris was born in an Anglo-Indian family, to James and Mary. He grew up on a tea plantation in Jabalpur, which was managed by his father. In 1928, he was a member of the British Indian field hockey team, which won the gold medal.
Norris later became an international field hockey coach. He coached the Dutch field hockey team from 1954 to 1956, the Italian team in 1960 and the Mexican team before the 1968 Olympics.[1] Norris' son Ron represented India as a light welterweight in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Norris' daughters Philomena and Wendy also represented India in field hockey.
