George Henry Reed (8 August 1906 – 11 December 1988) was a Welsh cricketer. Reed was a right-handed batsman who bowls left-arm fast-medium. He was born at St Fagans, Glamorgan.

Reed made his first-class debut for Glamorgan against Lancashire in the 1934 County Championship. He made 24 further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Sussex in the 1938 County Championship. Seen by some at Glamorgan as a potential long-term replacement for fast bowler Jack Mercer, Reed took 62 wickets at an average of 31.30, with best figures of 5/30. His only five wicket haul came against Sussex in the 1936 County Championship.

He was released by Glamorgan at the end of the 1938 season, and subsequently becoming a police officer. He died at Cardiff, Glamorgan on 11 December 1988.
