Eucomis regia is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae, native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, as Fritillaria regia. It was moved to Eucomis by Charles L'Héritier in 1789.[1]

Eucomis pillansii has been treated as a separate species or as the subspecies E. regia subsp. pillansii, but is now included in E. regia.[1]
