Callum Reid (born 16 January 1999) is an Irish rugby union player who plays loosehead prop for United Rugby Championship side Ulster.[2]

He was part of the Ireland under-20 team that won the Grand Slam in the 2019 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. He played for Banbridge RFC for a season while in the Ulster sub-academy, and joined the academy ahead of the 2019–20 season.[3] He made his Ulster debut in Round 10 of the 2020–21 Pro14 against Munster,[4] making five appearances from the bench during the 2020–21 season,[1] and spent six weeks on loan with Munster.[5] He signed a development contract ahead of the 2021–22 season season,[6] and made another five appearances from the bench,[1] including against the Stormers in Cape Town, when he scored a controversially disallowed try.[7] He was selected for the Emerging Ireland squad for the Toyota Challenge in South Africa in September 2022.[8]
