Reuben Hallam (1818-1908), also known as Wadsley Jack, was a carver, cutler and author, from the Wadsley district of Sheffield, England, who wrote in the Sheffield dialect. He is best known for the 1866 autobiographical work Wadsley Jack or the Humours and Adventures of a Travelling Cutler.

In various decennial censuses, he is listed as:

  • 1851 a teacher of singing
  • 1861 a spring knife cutler
  • 1871 a spring knife cutler
  • 1881 an artist (as are three of his children)
  • 1891 a weighman
  • 1901 a spring knife cutler

His portrait,[1] in oil on canvas, by W. Lindley, is in the collection of Museums Sheffield.[2] Another portrait of Hallam, by Willis Eadon, was exhibited at the August 1888 Society of Artists' exhibition.

A pub in Wadsley, The Wadsley Jack, formerly The Star, was renamed in his honour.[3]
