Regan Burns (born June 14, 1968 in Fort Benning, Georgia), is an American comedian. He is known for various small roles in TV commercials and programs. Burns' humor is often characterized by his high, enthusiastic voice tone and somewhat gawky, wide-eyed facial expressions.

Burns hosted the game show Oblivious, in which Burns acted as someone or something (an artist or golf instructor, for instance) and asked a contestant a series of five questions in conversation. The contestant wouldn't realize it was a hoax until all questions had been asked. They would then receive money for answering questions.
