Angus Bethune Reach (23 January 1821 – 15 November 1856) was a 19th-century British writer, noted for both his journalism and fiction.

==Journalistic career==
Reach was born in Inverness, Scotland, to solicitor Roderick Reach and his wife Ann. He attended school at Inverness Academy, beginning early in life to contribute a series of articles to the local ''Inverness Courier''.〔 Following a short period of study at Edinburgh University he moved in 1841 to London, where he gained a job as a court reporter for the ''Morning Chronicle'' newspaper.〔 Reach's early duties included coverage of events at the Old Bailey and later the House of Commons, before he gained greater recognition contributing to an investigative journalism series on the conditions of the urban poor in the manufacturing districts of England.〔 He subsequently became the ''Chronicles arts critic,〔 a post he held for over ten years.〔
In addition to his work for the ''Chronicle'', Reach wrote the gossip column ''Town and Table Talk'' for the ''Illustrated London News'' and corresponded from London for the ''Inverness Courier''.〔 He later joined the staff of the celebrated satirical journal ''Punch'', having contributed previously to two of its rivals, ''The Man In The Moon'' and ''The Puppet Show''.〔 He developed a reputation as a humourist, including for his satires ''The Comic Bradshaw'' and ''The Natural History of Humbugs''.〔
