Reginald Kenneth Braddick (4 August 1913  - December 1999) was a Welsh racing cyclist from Cardiff, Wales. He represented Wales at the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney, Australia.[1] He won the 1944 NCU national road championship.

His interest in cycling started as a butcher's delivery boy in Cardiff. He opened Reg Braddick Cycles on Broadway, Roath, Cardiff, in 1945 and had the idea of starting Cardiff Ajax Cycling Club in the flat above the shop. Riders who started with the club include Sally Hodge and Nicole Cooke. The shop was run by his son David, daughter-in-law, Janet and granddaughter, Suzy.
