John Lewis Reid (16 April 1909 – 1 July 1994) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Born in Bandon, County Cork, Reid was an English-based halfback with Oxford University (no blue), Middlesex Hospital and Richmond.[1] He gained an Ireland call up in 1934 as a replacement for out-half Eugene Davy, who was sidelined with a fractured thumb. Capped twice, Reid appeared against Scotland at Murrayfield and Wales at Swansea.[2][3]
