Reginald Gordon "Reg" Wyatt (18 September 1932 – 16 November 2007) was an English footballer who played as a centre back.

He began his career with Oak Villa (now known as Vospers Oak Villa), a non-league (now the South West Peninsula League) club in Plymouth, while studying at the Astor Institute.[1] He became a professional in 1950 when he signed for Plymouth Argyle, but had to wait five years before making his first team debut.[2] Originally a forward, Wyatt forced his way into the team as a centre back and went on to be a regular name on the teamsheet for the next nine years.[3] He spent three years with Torquay United between 1964 and 1967, before finishing his career in non-league football with Wadebridge Town.[4]
