Robert Russell Reid (born October 26, 1927, Alberta)[1] is a Canadian book artist, typographer, printer and graphic designer.[2]

Reid began his fascination with printing as young boy, having received a toy printing press as a gift.[1] After graduating from University of British Columbia, he set up his own shop in downtown Vancouver.

From 1963 to 1976, worked at McGill University in Montreal as a designer and production manager at McGill University Press.[3] During his tenure, Reid started a private press called "Redpath Press", and established two noteworthy works: Lande Bibliography (1965) and Portrait of a Period (1967).[3]
