Brian Eric Reith (born February 28, 1978 in Fort Wayne, Indiana) is a retired professional baseball pitcher. He played parts of three seasons in Major League Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds, and one season in the Chinese Professional Baseball League

He was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 6th round of the 1996 Major League Baseball Draft. He was traded with Drew Henson, Jackson Melián, and Ed Yarnall for Denny Neagle and Mike Frank. Reith made his Major League debut playing for the Cincinnati Reds in 2001.

In 2007, Reith played for the Somerset Patriots in the independent Atlantic League. In 8 games, he was 2–3 with a 2.70 ERA before signing with the Uni-President Lions in the CPBL.[1] Again with Somerset in 2008, he started 8 games before eventually becoming the closer.

In December 2008, Reith signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, but was released before the 2009 season's start. He split the 2009 season between the Tigres de Quintana Roo of the Mexican League and two independent teams, the Joliet JackHammers of the Northern League and the Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League.
