Terence Reese (1913–1996) was a British bridge player and writer, regarded as one of the finest of all time in both fields. He was born in Epsom, Surrey, England, and was educated at Bradfield College and New College, Oxford, where he studied classics and attained a double first, graduating in 1935. Reese won every major honor in the game, including the European Championship four times and the Bermuda Bowl in 1955. He was also the long-time bridge correspondent for The Lady, The Observer, and the London Evening News .

In his career as a writer, Reese had a number of co-authors, mostly highly competent players and writers, yet all his books were in his inimitable style.
