Reginald Sydney Habershon Baiss (6 March 1873 – 2 May 1955) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Kent County Cricket Club between 1895 and 1901.[1] He was born at Belvedere, Kent and died at Tunbridge Wells.

Educated at Tonbridge School and at Brasenose College, Oxford, Baiss played cricket as a right-handed lower-order batsman and a wicket-keeper.[2] Baiss appeared in three matches for the Oxford side in 1895, two of them games against Kent, and in the first of these he scored an unbeaten 52 which was his highest first-class score.[3] He was not however picked for the University Match and did not therefore win a Blue. Both during the university term and afterwards he also played in several matches for Kent and, after an absence of six years from the first-class game, he re-appeared for the county in two games in the 1901 season.[1]

In 1909, Baiss is recorded in The Times as the secretary of the London Playing Fields Society, the organisation set up in 1890 to promote the use of London's open spaces for organised sport, with an address in Kensington, London.[4] His son, James, played a few first-class cricket matches for Oxford University and the Free Foresters.
