Jack Regan (12 September 1912ndash11 August 1988) was an Australian rules footballer, who played 196 games with the Collingwood Football Club.

Regan was known as The Prince of Fullbacks. He was regarded by many as the greatest fullback of all time but, controversially, was denied a position in the Australian Football League's Team of the Century.

He played in an era of great full forwards. His duels with Bob Pratt were legendary. He was a magnificent mark and a superb kick. Archival footage shows him using the now defunct drop kick for his kickouts. In slow motion they demonstrate his perfect balance and timing. Regan's football career was interrupted in 1942 due to War service, but he returned in 1943 to captain the Magpies

He served the Collingwood Football Club for many years and held the position of Club Secretary from 1969 until his retirement in 1977.

In 1996 Regan was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
