Caroline Gallup Reed (also known as Mrs. Sylvanus Reed; 5 August 1821 in Berne, New York – 17 November 1914 in New York City) was a United States educator.
In 1851 she married Sylvanus Reed, and in 1864 established a school for young women in New York City.
In 1883, the school was incorporated under the laws of New York State as Reed College, so as to assure the perpetuity of the establishment.
She published various papers, and, before retiring, regularly issued "circulars of information" upon subjects of general educational interest.
Her son Sylvanus Albert Reed became an engineer, winning the 1925 Collier Trophy for the invention of the practical aircraft propeller.
