Kevin Patrick Reese (born March 11, 1978 in San Diego, California) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who last played for the New York Yankees Triple-A club, the Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees. Due to an injury to outfielder Hideki Matsui, Reese was called up to the New York Yankees on June 26, by|2005.

In his first major league plate appearance, which came against the New York Mets, Reese drew a walk. In his first official major league at bat, Reese struck out. Later the same week, he was returned to the minor leagues by the team.

On May 12, by|2006, Reese was recalled by the Yankees from the Columbus Clippers to serve as a backup outfielder after Hideki Matsui broke his wrist. He collected his first Major League hit in a game against the Mets, on May 20 ,2006. He spent all year with the Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees. Reese was designated for assignment on August 14, by|2007. He was outrighted back to the Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees a day later.

After receiving no offers to attend major league spring training following the 2007 season, Reese retired from playing and accepted a job with the New York Yankees as a scout for the South Atlantic and the Carolina Leagues.
