Raymond William Reed (30 April 1932 – 8 May 1970) was a Rhodesian racing driver born in Gwelo, Southern Rhodesia. He was entered in the 1965 South African Grand Prix in his self-built RE-Alfa Romeo, but did not take part and had earlier participated in the non-championship 1964 Rand Grand Prix. Reed was killed along with his three children in an aircraft accident on 8 May 1970 near Nottingham Road, Natal in South Africa. He had been deemed to be flying in weather conditions under which he was not qualified or legally permitted to fly.{{Cite web|url=https://www.classiccarsinrhodesia.co.za/MR_Peter_Huson.html|title=Motor Racing in Rhodesia 2|last=Kennerley|first=Wayne M.|website=www.classiccarsinrhodesia.co.za|access-date=2017-06-29}}
