William Reeves (1825 - 1891) was a New Zealand 19th century journalist and politician. He was the father of the author and politician the Hon. William Pember Reeves.
He represented the Avon electorate from 1867 to 1868, when he resigned, and then the Selwyn electorate from 1871 to 1875 when he was defeated. He was Resident Minister for the Middle (South) Island in the Fox Ministry of 1869-72.
He was a journalist and newspaper proprietor in Christchurch and Lyttelton, and was the principal proprietor of the Lyttelton Times, though he died virtually bankrupt (he had failed on the Stock Exchange in England before migrating to New Zealand).
