David Reason (14 April 1897 — 17 February 1955) was a Welsh cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm off-break bowler and wicket-keeper for Glamorgan County Cricket Club, Glamorgan. He was born in Cadoxton, Neath Port Talbot, Cadoxton, Neath, and died in Blackheath, London, Blackheath. Reason was a regular player for Neath cricket club during the 1920s, but made two first-class appearances for Glamorgan County Cricket Club, Glamorgan in 1921 and 1922, having made four appearances in the Minor Counties Championship a year previously. At the end of his first-class career, Reason served on the Glamorgan committee, having found it difficult to fit in enough time to star in first-class cricket because of business commitments.

Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket.
