'''Robert Reid Rentoul''' (died shortly before October 1925<ref>''British Medical Journal'', October 3, 1925, Obituary.</ref>) was a prominent figure in medical politics.

A Doctor of Medicine in [[Liverpool]], educated at [[Edinburgh]], [[Dublin]], [[Belfast]] and [[London]], he was a Member of the [[Royal College of Surgeons]] (England) (1879), Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh (1877), Member of the Medico-Legal Society, London, Member of the Society for the Study of Inebriety, Hon. Member of the [[Manchester]] Medico-Ethical Association. He was a very active member of the [[British Medical Association]], and was sometime a member of their Parliamentary Bills Committee. In 1897 he was a direct representative for England on the [[General Medical Council]], on which council he also served as a member of the Education Committee.<ref>Refer: BMJ obituary and the title page of his 1905 book on race where his memberships etc are all given.</ref>

Rentoul was a eugenicist, whose books, notably his "classic racial suicide work" '''''Race Culture; or Race Suicide?''''' (1906) assisted in bringing him to public attention. In this, he denounced the "terrible monstrosities" created by racial intermarriage and points out that Americans are "poor patriots" [of the Anglo-Saxon race] for repealing their racial miscegenation statutes.<ref>http://www.publiceye.org/magazine/v09n1/eugenics.html</ref>

He was also a witness before the [[House of Commons]] Select Committees on 'Death Certification', the Registration of Midwives, and laid evidence before the Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feeble-Minded.
