The British pair lost in straight sets to Joachim Gerard and Stefan Olsson 6-4 6-2.
Hewett, from Cantley, and Reid were looking for their four successive title but they were out-played by Belgium's Gerard and Sweden's Olsson in a repeat of the 2018 final at SW19.
"They fully deserved that win and I hope they celebrate well tonight," said Hewett. "To play on Court Three when we thought we were on Court 14 last night is amazing."
Reid, 27, added: "Congratulations from us to Stefan and Jo, they played a great match.
