Milton Alexánder Reyes Galeas (born 2 May 1974 in Arenal, Yoro, Honduras) is a retired Honduran football player, who primarily played for C.D. Motagua.

Nicknamed Jocón, Reyes began playing professional football as a central defender with Yoro FC of the Honduran second division in 1993. He moved to then newly promoted Independiente Villela, for whom he made his debut in the Honduran National League on 24 September 1995 against Vida. He subsequently moved to Motagua, one of Honduras's most prestigious clubs, where he would play from 1997–2002, helping the club to five championships.

In 2002, he moved to Major League Soccer, where he signed a contract with D.C. United. Reyes immediately impressed with his offensive forays from the right back position, and ended the season with 24 starts and two assists to his credit. Unfortunately, Reyes tore his ACL in the 2003 preseason, and was forced to miss all of the 2003 season.

Upon his return, Reyes was cut by D.C. United for salary cap reasons, and after considering a return to Honduras, decided to stay in MLS and sign with the Dallas Burn. Although Reyes initially did not impress in Dallas, as he regained his old form his attacking abilities shone through, and he ended the season at Dallas starting both at the left midfield and left back positions for the team, ending the season with 828 minutes in nine starts. Reyes left the team after the season.

He came back to Motagua in 2005. Reyes announced his retirement after finishing the 2008 Clausura tournament but was persuaded to stay with the club until 2011. He retired after the clasico against Olimpia on 30 October 2011.
