Lyla Pinch Brock is a Canadian Egyptologist, specializing in epigraphy. She lives in Saissac, France.

She has taken part in a number of archaeological projects, including the Tell el-Borg Project[1] and the Theban Mapping Project.[2] On behalf of the Royal Ontario Museum, she was responsible for epigraphy in the tomb of Amenmose (TT89)[3] and wholly responsible for excavating and conserving the tomb of Anen (TT120).[4] She also cleared and conserved KV55 from 1992-1996.[5] During excavation of the tomb in 1993, she discovered an ostracon painted with part of the original plan of the tomb among other objects.[5][6] The pottery from this job has recently been published.[7]

She was married to Edwin C. Brock, who was also an Egyptologist until his death in 2015.[8]
