Chris Reed (born July 7, 1989) is a Japanese ice dancer. With his sister Cathy Reed, he became a seven-time Japanese national champion (2008–2011, 2013–2015) and the 2011 Asian Winter Games silver medalist. They competed at two Winter Olympics (2010, 2014) and reached the final segment at nine ISU Championships.

With Kana Muramoto, Reed is the 2017 Asian Winter Games silver medalist and a two-time Japanese national champion (2016–2017). They have competed in the final segment at three ISU Championships.

Chris Reed was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His mother is Japanese and his father is American. Reed has two skating siblings – his elder sister, Cathy, with whom he competed with in ice dancing, and his younger sister Allison Reed, who is also an ice dancer.

The Reeds won the novice ice dancing title at the 2006 U.S. Championships. They decided to represent Japan beginning in the 2006–07 season. While novice national champions are usually given a chance to compete on the Junior Grand Prix, Cathy Reed was too old at the time of their win to compete as a junior internationally. The Reeds accepted an offer to compete for Japan, advancing immediately to the senior level.

After advancing to the senior level, they placed fourth at the Golden Spin of Zagreb and second at the 2007 Japan Championships. At the 2007 Four Continents, they placed ahead of several teams who had been competing a seniors much longer.

Making their Grand Prix debut, the Reeds placed 9th at the 2007 Skate America and 8th at the 2007 NHK Trophy. They won the Japanese national championships. They repeated their 7th-place finish at the Four Continents, and then placed 16th at the 2008 Worlds. They represented Japan at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
