Ralph Robert Wheeler Lingen, 1st Baron Lingen KCB ( 19 December 1819 – 22 July 1905 ) was an English civil servant.

He was the grandson of Ralph Lingen, Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford, and was a descendant of Elisabeth de Burgh ( d. 1522 ), co-heiress of the family descended from the Princes of Powys, Llywelyn the Great, King John, Henry III and Edward I.

Lingen was first educated at Bridgnorth Grammar School and then became a scholar of Trinity College, Oxford, in 1837.

The Education Office of that day had to administer a somewhat chaotic system of government grants to local schools, and Lingen was conspicuous for his fearless discrimination and rigid economy, qualities which characterized his whole career.

When Robert Lowe ( Lord Sherbrooke ) became, as vice-president of the council, his parliamentary chief, Lingen worked congenially with him in producing the Revised Code of 1862 which incorporated " payment by results "; but the education department encountered adverse criticism, and in 1864 the vote of censure in parliament which caused Lowe's resignation, founded ( but erroneously ) on an alleged " editing " of the school inspectors ' reports, was inspired by a certain antagonism to Lingen's as well as to Lowe's methods.

Shortly before the introduction of Forster's Education Act of 1870, Lingen was transferred to the post of permanent secretary of the treasury.

Lingen was at all events a most successful resister of importunate claims, and his undoubted talents as a financier were most prominently displayed in the direction of parsimony.

He had been made a CB in 1869 and a KCB in 1878, and on his retirement he was raised to the peerage as Baron Lingen, of Lingen in the County of Hereford.
