Marco Reda (born 22 June 1977 in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian international soccer player who plays for the Charleston Battery. Reda has earned four caps for the Canadian national soccer team under coach Frank Yallop.

In 1998 Reda signed for the Toronto Lynx and established himself there as one of the best defenders in what was then known as the A-League, helping the Lynx reach the playoff semifinals in 2000. Reda played for the Lynx for five years before being transferred to Sogndal Fotball in 2002.

Reda played for Sogndal for three years, becoming a fan favourite, but was transferred in 2005 to Aalborg Boldspilklub of the Danish Superliga because Sogndal were relegated.

Reda played for Aalborg for a year and a half before being released. In 2006 Reda re-signed with his old team Sogndal to help them win back promotion to the top flight, but was acquired by Toronto FC in November 2006. At Toronto FC he, along with Chris Pozniak, Adam Braz and Jim Brennan were touted to form a 'Canadian Shield' of Canadian defenders for the MLS team's inaugural season, but a combination of injuries and inconsistent play led to only Brennan remaining with the team for its second year. Reda was released by Toronto in November 2007. ^[1]

On March 4,2008, He signed with the Charleston Battery.
