Odo Morannal Reuter (1850–1913) was a Swedo-Finnish zoologist and poet.

He was born at Turku on 28 April 1850 and died there on 2 September 1913.

Reuter became a student at the University of Helsinki in 1867, and gained an MSc in 1873 followed by a PhD in 1877, when he became an associate professor of zoology. He formally retired in 1910 due to long-term health problems.

Reuter was a hemipterist, a specialist in plant bugs. He coined the term "parasitoid" to describe the way of life of species such as many wasps which feed on but do not immediately kill their prey.
