Kai Reus (born March 11, 1985 in Winkel, North Holland) is a Dutch professional road bicycle racer who rides for Cycling Team De Rijke.

During a training at the Col d'Iseran on July 12, 2007 after missing out on the 2007 Tour de France Reus fell from his bike and slipped into a coma. After team mate Michael Rasmussen won the yellow jersey during the Tour he dedicated the jersey to Reus. Eventually Reus would remain in coma until July 23.

Reus took a year off from cycling between 2010 and 2011 after he was diagnosed with mononucleosis and lost form.[2]
