St Lawrence Hugh Webb (7 March 1931 – 30 May 1978) was an English international rugby union player.

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Webb was the son of a property developer who owned the Chequers Cinema in St Albans, Hertfordshire, and grew up in the village of Redbourn. He attended St George's School in Harpenden.[1]

Webb played over 300 games for Bedford and was capped by England four times as a prop in the 1959 Five Nations.[2]

A wealthy businessman, Webb made considerable money selling his plant hire firm to Bovis Construction.[2] He died in 1978, piloting a Bell 206 helicopter that crashed at sea on the way back from Le Touquet, at the age of 47.[2][3]
