Patrick Robert Reid, MBE, MC (13 November 1910 – 22 May 1990) was a British Army officer and author of history. As a British prisoner of war during the Second World War, he was held captive at Colditz Castle when it was designated Oflag IV-C. Reid was one of the few to escape from Colditz, crossing the border into neutral Switzerland in late 1942. After the war Reid was a diplomat and administrator before eventually returning to his prewar career in civil engineering. He also wrote about his experiences in two best-selling books, which became the basis of a film, TV series and board game.

Van november 1940 tot zijn ontsnapping op 14 oktober 1942 werd hij op het kasteel Colditz, in de buurt van Leipzig en Dresden, gevangen gehouden. Het lukte hem daarna om, tezamen met Flight Lieutenant Howard D. Wardle (Hank, voor vrienden), Major Ronald B. Littledale en Lieutenant Commander William E. Stephens, te ontsnappen. Om dit te bereiken slipten ze achter de gevangenenkeukens en boven op het dak van de Duitse keuken, door het streng bewaakte en met zoeklichten uitgeruste Duitse kampdeel, om via een luchtschacht in de kelder van de 'Kommandatur'- naar een lager gelegen, droge kasteelgracht te glijde (nl)
