Addison Devon Reed (born December 27, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB). He pitched in MLB for the Chicago White Sox from 2011 through 2013 and for the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2014 through 2015.

Reed attended Los Osos High School in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and San Diego State University.

Reed was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the third round of the 2010 Major League Baseball draft. He was named the relief pitcher on Baseball America's 2011 Minor League All Star team.

Reed was called up to the majors for the first time on September 2, 2011. Reed picked up his first career save on May 5, 2012, against the Detroit Tigers pitching one-third of an inning striking out the only batter he faced, Austin Jackson, during a 3-2 White Sox victory. On May 23, 2012, manager Robin Ventura officially named Reed as the team's closer.

Reed finished the 2012 season with 29 saves despite owning an ERA of 4.75 in 62 games.

Reed played the 2013 season as the team's closer. Reed earned his 50th career save in a game against the Kansas City Royals on June 22, 2013. On August 22, 2013, Reed saved a sixth consecutive game, becoming the first player in Chicago White Sox history to do so, and the first player in the Major Leagues since Éric Gagné did it for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2003. Reed finished the year going 40-48 in save opportunities, going 5-4 with a 3.79 ERA, striking out 72 in 71.1 innings in 68 appearances.
