Charlie Reid and Craig Reid (born 5 March 1962 in Leith, Scotland) are identical twin brothers, famous as singers and songwriters in The Proclaimers.

The twins were brought up in Auchtermuchty, Fife. After several punk rock bands at school, they formed The Proclaimers in 1983.

In March 2007 they recorded a new version of their well-known song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" with television comedy characters Andy Pipkin (played by Matt Lucas) and Brian Potter (Peter Kay) for the Comic Relief charity. A long list of celebrities were featured in the music video for this new version, including David Bellamy, Rod, Jane and Freddy, Paul O'Grady and many more. This new version of the song reached No. 1 in the UK singles chart.
