Marco Reich (born 30 December 1977) is a German former professional footballer who played as a midfielder or winger.

[5][6][7] He left the Werder Bremen in the 2003–04 winter transfer window while the club went on to win both the league and cup titles.

[9] On 14 August 2004, he contributed a brace to Derby County's 3–2 defeat of Ipswich Town, their first win of the 2004–05 season.

[15] In early February 2005, the club's captain Ian Taylor mentioned Reich's signing as one of manager George Burley's "really good foreign free transfers".

[16] On 3 May 2005, Reich scored an injury-time equaliser for 3–3 having been brought on late as a substitute in a league match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

[17][18] At the end of the 2004–05 season Derby County missed out on promotion to the Premier League and Reich was one of four players to be released from work duties and declared free to join a club.

[25] The highlight of his time at Palace was arguably when he scored the winning goal to reach the last 16 of the 2005–06 Football League Cup at the expense of European champions Liverpool.

[31] He was later critical of the standard of football in the Ekstraklasa, comparing it to the lower divisions of the German League, although he did speak favourably about teams like Wisła Kraków and Lech Poznań.
