Reginald Edgar „Reggie“ Walker (16. března 1889 Durban – 5. listopadu 1951 Durban) byl jihoafrický atlet, sprinter, olympijský vítěz v běhu na 100 metrů z roku 1908.
Sportovní kariéra
Na olympiádě v Londýně v roce 1908 startoval jen díky sbírce organizovaného sportovním novinářem v Natalu, V Londýně ho trénoval Sam Mussabini, který o řadu let později připravoval jiného olympijského vítěze v běhu na 100 metrů Harolda Abrahamse. Při olympiádě postupovali do dalších kol pouze vítězové. Walker vyhrál rozběh i semifinále (zde vyrovnal olympijský rekord 10,8). Ve finále porazil všechny tři soupeře, mimo jiné i pozdějšího vítěze na 200 metrů Bobbyho Kerra a dosáhl opět času 10,8. Stal se tak do té doby nejmladším olympijským vítězem na této trati, zlatou medaili získal, když mu bylo 19 let a 128 dní.

Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
