Lynn Fairfield Reynolds (May 7, 1889 – February 25, 1927) was an American director and screenwriter.

Reynolds was born in Harlan, Iowa and died in Los Angeles, California,[1] from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Returning home in 1927 after being snowbound in the Sierras for three weeks, Reynolds telephoned his wife, actress Kathleen O'Connor, to arrange a dinner party at their Hollywood home with another couple.

During the dinner, Reynolds and O'Connor engaged in a heated quarrel in which each accused the other of infidelity.

With his guests following in an attempt to calm him down, Reynolds left the table to retrieve a pistol from another room where he shot himself in the head.
