Richie Regehr (born January 17, 1983 in Bandung, Indonesia but grew up in Rosthern, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman.

Regehr was signed as a free agent on July 6, 2004 as an undrafted player by the Calgary Flames, the team where his brother Robyn plays. During the 2004-05 NHL lockout Richie Regehr played for the Lowell Lock Monsters, who were the American Hockey League affiliate of the Flames. In the 2005-06 season, he was sent to the Flames new farm team, Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights. After injuries to defencemen Rhett Warrener and Roman Hamrlik late in 2005, Regehr was called up to the Flames. In his first National Hockey League game on December 29, 2005, he dressed with his brother Robyn and scored an assist on the game winning goal. After only 3 games the Flames sent him back down to the Ak-Sar-Ben Knights, but on January 7 he was once again recalled. Regehr was recalled by Calgary again on Feb. 2, 2006.

Regehr replaced Knights teammate Mark Giordano (who was recalled to the Calgary Flames) at the 2006 Canadian AHL All-Star team. He registered a goal and an assist in the All-Star game.

Regehr was born in Indonesia to Canadian Mennonite missionaries. They later returned to Canada where he grew up in Rosthern, Saskatchewan.
