John Reid is a manager and music industry figure born in Paisley, Scotland currently living and working in Australia.

Between 1975 and 1978, Reid was the manager of British rock group Queen and Kevin Ayers. For some 25 years he was the manager of Elton John, but their relationship ended with acrimonious legal action in 2000 [1] over a leaked letter from his accountants detailing Elton's spending which was found by Benjamin Pell and published in the Daily Mirror.

In Australia, he is best known for being a judge on the local version of The X Factor.
