Herbert Roy 'Tiger' Lance (6 June 1940 – 10 November 2010) was a South African cricketer.

Tiger Lance was born in Pretoria, Transvaal. He played in 13 Tests between 1962 and 1970 as an all-rounder.[1] He was a forceful middle order batsman and useful seam bowler.

He died in hospital in Johannesburg, four weeks after the car he was driving was hit by a woman driving on the wrong side of the road.[2]
