Jamie Reid (born 1947) is a British artist and anarchist with connections to the Situationists. His work, featuring letters cut from newspaper headlines in the style of a ransom note, came close to defining the image of punk rock, particularly in the UK. His best known works include the Sex Pistols album "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" and the singles "Anarchy in the UK", "God Save The Queen", "Pretty Vacant" and "Holidays in the Sun".

He was educated at John Ruskin Grammar School in Croydon.Reid produced a series of screen prints in 1997, the twentieth anniversary of the birth of punk rock. Reid has also produced artwork for the world music fusion band Afro Celt Sound System.

Jamie Reid created the ransom-note look used with the Sex Pistols graphics while he was designing "Suburban Press", a radical political magazine he ran for five years.

Since 2004, Reid has been exhibiting and publishing prints with the Aquarium Gallery.

In May 2007, a career retrospective for Reid, entitled "X Marks the Spot", was held in Shoreditch, London.
