Regan Charles Upshaw (born August 12, 1975) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL) between 1996 and 2004.

In high school, Upshaw played for Pittsburg High School (Pittsburg, California), helping defeat the previously undefeated De La Salle in the 1991 NCS championship game played at the Oakland Coliseum.
