'''Angus Reid''' (born September 23, 1976) is a former offensive lineman who played in the Canadian Football League. Reid went to Simon Fraser University and played for the Simon Fraser Clan. He began his career with the Montreal Alouettes but was traded, along with a 5th round draft pick, to BC for Adriano Belli. In 2004, Reid was selected to the West Division All-Star Team for the first time in his career. He was also named CFL lineman of the week for week #7. In 2005, Reid started all 18 games including the West Division Final against the Edmonton Eskimos.

Reid missed three years of college football at Simon Fraser because of gastrointestinal problems linked to Crohn's disease but he played every CFL game from the 2002 to 2008 CFL seasons including the 92nd and 94th Grey Cups.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/sports/story.html?id=06890873-b74f-4908-b9d2-da066b7919a0|title=Q&A with Angus Reid|last=Beamish|first=Mike|date=2007-08-30|publisher=Vancouver Sun|access-date=2009-03-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301012113/http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/sports/story.html?id=06890873-b74f-4908-b9d2-da066b7919a0|archive-date=2012-03-01|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bclions.com/roster/show/id/201|title=Angus Reid|work=Roster|publisher=BC Lions Football Club Inc.|access-date=2009-03-21|quote=His regular season games-played streak sits at 126 consecutive starts going into the 2009 campaign.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090221021859/http://www.bclions.com/roster/show/id/201|archive-date=21 February 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>
