The Reid ministry was the 28th ministry of the Colony of New South Wales, and was led by the 12th Premier, the Right Honourable George Reid, PC, QC, LL.D, MLA.

The ministry covers the period from 3 August 1894 until 13 September 1899 when Reid resigned in order to focus on ensuring adequate provisions were made for New South Wales in the federation of the Australian colonies into a Commonwealth.
