Reece Sinclair is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera Neighbours, played by Mischa Barton. She made her first appearance during the episode broadcast on 18 September 2023. Barton was cast as Reece after producers approached her with the part. Barton admitted that she had previously declined some Neighbours roles as she didn't see them fitting for her. Reece is an American businesswoman whose family has invested in Lassiter's Hotel. Executive producer Jason Herbison hoped that Reece's introduction, which came upon the Neighbours reboot with Amazon Freevee, would attract new international audiences to the serial. Despite historically being reserved for regular characters, Barton cameoed in the show's opening titles.
Barton's character is described as the eldest daughter of business tycoon Conrad Sinclair, and as hard-working, dynamic and unpredictable. When Reece arrives in Erinsborough, she begins an unforeseen relationship with Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux). Barton called her intimate scenes with Molyneux intense, and Molyneux explained that they both had to go through the Neighbours intimacy team to prepare for their scenes. As their relationship progressed, Barton worried that Reece's feelings for Byron were not genuine as it was revealed that Reece had actually come to Erinsborough in search of her younger half-sister, Krista Sinclair (Majella Davis). Barton departed the serial on 23 November 2023.
