Lawrence Ambrose Hayter (13 April 1893 – 30 December 1917) was an English illustrator, draughtsman, and writer. He was a significant contributor to The Children's Realm, a children's magazine about vegetarianism published, from 1906 to 1914, by the Vegetarian Federal Union and London Vegetarian Society. Following the outbreak of the First World War, Hayter initially identified as a conscientious objector, before changing his mind and enlisting in the Bedfordshire Regiment, 6th Battalion. He was killed in action in Belgium, in 1917.
