Stanley Spencer Reid (12 July 1872 – 23 June 1901) was an Australian rules footballer with the Fitzroy Football Club from 1894 to 1898.
Soon after his retirement from VFL football, he became an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church.
He also, later, became a member of the Imperial Forces in the Anglo-Boer War, firstly as a trooper in the Second Western Australian (Mounted Infantry) Contingent (2WAMI) in 1900, and then as a commissioned officer in the Sixth Western Australian (Mounted Infantry) Contingent (6WAMI) in 1901.
He died in active service in the Anglo-Boer War.
Stanley Spencer Reid was the third child of Rev. John Bentley Reid (1843–1910) and Sibyl Rose Reid, née Drury (1849–1943). He was born in Swan Hill, Victoria on 12 July 1872, and was one of their five sons and two daughters.
The Reids had arrived in Australia in 1871 on the Hampshire, and moved straight to Swan Hill, Victoria where Rev. John Reid became its first Presbyterian minister. He was ordained as soon as Swan Hill's first Presbyterian Church, The John Knox Church, was completed in December 1872.
After spending some time in Victoria Rev. John Bentley Reid moved to Western Australia. He was the joint minister of both the Leederville and the Subiaco Presbyterian churches in 1899. He died on 10 August 1910, in Victoria, aged 68.
He attended Caulfield Grammar School, Scotch College, and the University of Melbourne, where he was a resident of Ormond College.
He graduated from Melbourne University with a Bachelor of Arts in 1896.
