Steven John Reid (born 10 March 1981) is a former professional footballer who played as a right back, having previously played most of his career in midfield.

Reid began his career with Millwall in 1998, moving to Blackburn Rovers five years later. After an initial loan spell, he joined West Bromwich Albion in 2010. His career was troubled by injury; he once notably played for 45 minutes against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium with a broken leg.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21068719|title=West Brom's Steven Reid 'played with broken leg' at Arsenal|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 January 2013|access-date=17 January 2013}}{{cite news|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1303075/west-brom%27s-steven-reid-played-against-arsenal-with-broken-leg?cc=5739|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130216033250/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1303075/west-brom's-steven-reid-played-against-arsenal-with-broken-leg?cc=5739|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 February 2013|title=Reid played on with broken leg|work=ESPN|date=17 January 2013|access-date=17 January 2013}} Reid retired in 2015 after a season with Burnley.

He was part of the successful 2000–01 team that gained promotion to the English First Division. Reid gained a reputation for his strong, driving runs and phenomenal long range shooting ability, memorably scoring from 35 yards against Norwich City on the opening day of the 2001–02 season to set Millwall on their way to a 4–0 victory.{{cite news

Reid debuted for Blackburn Rovers on 23 August 2003 as a 76th-minute substitute for Vratislav Greško, but had the misfortune of being dismissed in the 88th minute. He went on to make 19 appearances through the 2003–04 season, though a hamstring injury would rule him out of action for three months during this time. A change of management in September 2004 saw Mark Hughes replace Graeme Souness as Blackburn boss, a move which would also signify a change for Reid. Despite playing the majority of his career as a wide midfielder, Hughes moved Reid to centre midfield for the match against Everton on 6 March 2005. Reid went on to star in a 1–0 victory for Blackburn, creating the winning goal, and has since claimed the central midfield position.

Reid scored one of the goals of the seasons in the 2005–06 Premier League campaign against Wigan at the JJB Stadium. The ball fell to Reid from 30 yards and he scored a volley into the top corner of the net. The goal won BBC Match of the Day's Goal of the Month for December. On 2 May 2006, Reid scored the goal that secured Blackburn's place in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup, a header that gave them a 1–0 win over Chelsea.{{cite news

Reid missed the majority of the 2006–07 season through injury. A back injury limited him to three appearances before he sustained cruciate ligament injury in January, which kept him out for the rest of the season.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/blackburn_rovers/6263183.stm|title=Blackburn's Reid out for season|date=15 January 2007|publisher=BBC Sport}}

It appeared that Reid's injury problems were behind him after a full pre-season and solid start to Blackburn's 2008–09 season, however his injury woes would return, with another knee injury ruling him out of the entire 2008–09 season.{{cite web|url=http://www.setantasports.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/10/17/Premier-League-Reid-out-for-the-season/?facets/sport-space/great-britain-locale/|title=News}}

On 19 November 2009, Reid signed on loan for Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in an attempt to recapture his career from injury. The loan lasted until midway through December 2009. During which time Reid wore the number 36 shirt. He, along with other players, appeared in a Libertines video (fronted by QPR fan Pete Doherty) celebrating the bands re-union.{{cite news
