Scincella reevesii (common name: Reeves' smooth skink) is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Asia.

The specific name, reevesii, is in honor of English naturalist John Reeves.

S. reevesii is found in southern China (Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong), Indochina (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam) and south to Western Malaysia, Myanmar, India, and Nepal. There is also a questionable record from Korea. Reports from Bangladesh represent Sphenomorphus maculatus.
