Craig Kevin Reid (born 17 December 1985) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Reid began his career in the youth academies of Coventry City and Ipswich Town before returning to Coventry under a professional contract in 2004. He spent a brief loan spell at Tamworth in March 2006 and was released by Coventry at the end of the 2005–06 season without making a first-team appearance. After a year and a half at Cheltenham Town, he joined Grays Athletic in August 2008 and soon moved to Newport County, where he was top goalscorer for three successive seasons and helped the club win promotion to the Conference Premier during the 2009–10 season.

In January 2011, he signed for Stevenage for a club-record £90,000 and contributed to their promotion to League One in his first season. He joined Aldershot Town in July 2012, before later spells at Southend United and a second stint with Stevenage. He went on to feature for several non-League clubs, including Kidderminster Harriers, Brentwood Town, Lincoln City, Gainsborough Trinity, and Gloucester City. Reid returned to Newport in 2017, before joining Coventry United, where he also spent time on loan at Barwell. He remained with Coventry United until the end of the 2017–18 season, which marked the conclusion of his playing career.
