Lieutenant R.N.R. Lionel Matthew Kelly (20 December, 1884 – ) was an officer in the Royal Naval Reserve. He apparently spoke Hindi. Oddly, there is no clear sign that he obtained certificates in gunnery or torpedoes.

Kelly was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant R.N.R. on 1 October, 1915. In mid-March 1916 he left Agincourt for H.M.S. Research.[2]
