Abstract
Using the Newman-Penrose formalism, the Lanczos potential for Petrov type D spacetimes has been found. It is seen that the Lanczos scalars can be expressed in terms of the spin-coefficients. The non-uniqueness character of the Lanczos potential has been established and a possible justification to the name “the Lanczos potential” is given
