 English legal scholar, noted for his History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I, 2 vol. (with F.W. Maitland, 1895), and for his correspondence over 60 years with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes (Holmes, Oliver Wendell, Jr.).

      Pollock was called to the bar in 1871, taught jurisprudence at the University of Oxford (1883–1903), succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1888, and was made a king's counsel in 1920. He was a founder and the first editor (1885–1919) of the Law Quarterly Review and also edited the Law Reports (1895–1935). Three of Pollock's textbooks remained in use for many years: Principles of Contract (1876), Digest of the Law of Partnership (1877), and The Law of Torts (1887). The Holmes-Pollock Letters, edited by Mark De Wolfe Howe, were published in 1941.

      Pollock's son, Frederick John Pollock (1878–1963), a noted historian, succeeded to the baronetcy.
