Reuben Haines III (February 8, 1786 – October 19, 1831) was a Quaker farmer, brewer, abolitionist, scientist, ornithologist, meteorologist, firefighter, philanthropist, and educational reformer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Haines was a founder and first president of the Philadelphia Hose Company, the first organization in the United States devoted to fighting fires by pumping water through a leather hose.[1][2] He was a founding member of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society,[3] served as the corresponding secretary of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia for 17 years (1814–1831), and made significant early contributions to the museum collection.[4][5] He was the first person to import Alderney cattle (a now extinct breed closely related to Guernsey cattle) into the United States.[6]

Haines was the proprietor of the historic Wyck House in Germantown, Pennsylvania.[4]
