We present high-resolution images of three BL Lac objects (0814 + 425,
1823 + 568, 2254 + 074) taken with the WFPC-2 camera on Hubble Space
Telescope (HST) as part of a study of BL Lacs from a complete radio-se
lected sample. In two cases we clearly detect the host galaxies while
the third BL Lac (0814 + 425) is unresolved. The host galaxy of 2254 074 is a moderately bright elliptical, while the inferred luminosity
of the host galaxy for 1823 + 568 is at the high end of the range for
previously known BL Lac hosts. The lack of detection of a host galaxy
for 0814 + 425 calls into question the validity of its low reported re
dshift. Comparison of the HST data with subarcsecond ground-based R-ba
nd images shows excellent agreement on the largest scales, while on sm
aller scales only HST detects the galaxy significantly above the nucle
ar light. In the case of 2254 + 074, the high resolution of HST allows
us to establish that the host galaxy is an elliptical.
