Reaps Cross is a wayside cross located in Yorkshire, England, and is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents the type of stone cross that commonly marked routes, boundaries, or served as meeting points in the English landscape.

The physical remains consist of a stone shaft with base, characteristic of medieval cross construction, though like many monuments of this class the original head may have been lost or replaced over centuries of exposure to the elements.
