Kevin Reynolds, Canadian figure skater
Kevin Reynolds (born July 23, 1990) is a retired Canadian figure skater. He is the 2013 Four Continents champion, 2010 Four Continents bronze medallist, 2014 Winter Olympics team silver medallist and a six-time Canadian national medallist (2012–14, 2017 silver; 2010, 2016 bronze). His highest place at a World Championship is fifth, achieved at 2013 World Championships.

On the junior level, he is the 2006 JGP Final bronze medallist.

Reynolds is the first skater to have landed two quadruple jumps in a short program. He is the first to have landed five quadruple jumps in one competition — at the 2013 Four Continents, he landed two quads in the short program and three in the free skate.

Kevin Reynolds amassed a large Japanese following over his career. In 2016, he used the song "Tank!" from the anime Cowboy Bebop in a routine while dressed as the anime's protagonist, Spike Spiegel. When asked in an interview at World Team Trophy, he stated that his favourite Pokémon is Farfetch'd.
