Lancelot Eldin "Lance" de Mole CBE, (13 March 1880 – 6 May 1950) was an Australian engineer and inventor. He made several approaches to the British authorities, in 1912, 1914, and 1916, with plans for a vehicle driven by a type of caterpillar track, believing that it could have a military application. It was ahead of its time because in 1912 the need for such a military device had not yet arisen. To further complicate matters his correspondence was set aside due to various bureaucratic blunders, and was not given to the appropriate officers.

W 1911 w czasie prac mierniczych w okolicach Geraldton wpadł na pomysł opancerzonego pojazdu gąsienicowego i rok później wysłał do brytyjskiego War Office (ministerstwa ds. wojny) opis i rysunki takiego pojazdu. W 1913 otrzymał odpowiedź, że War Office nie jest zainteresowany jego wynalazkiem. W 1915 De Mole ponownie próbował zainteresować rząd brytyjski swoim wynalazkiem. Tym razem otrzymał odpowiedź, że zanim jego pomysł będzie mógł zostać oceniony, musi on zaprezentować jego działający model. De Mole zbudował model czołgu, ale nie posiadał wystarczających funduszy na podróż do Londynu. Próbował się zaciągnąć do australijskiej ar (pl)
