La première bataille de Reading se déroule le 4 janvier 871 près de Reading, dans le Berkshire. Elle oppose les armées du roi du Wessex Æthelred et son frère Alfred le Grand aux troupes des Danois Bagsecg et Halfdan Ragnarsson. Malgré des pertes danoises importantes, les Ouest-Saxons d'Æthelred sont défaits et massacrés au cours de la bataille. Selon la Chronique anglo-saxonne, la défaite coûte la vie à l'ealdorman ouest-saxon ÆthelwulfÆthelwulf , vainqueur quatre jours plus tôt à la bataille d'Englefield contre le jarl danois Sidroc.
