For other people named John Regan, see John Regan (disambiguation).

John Regan is an American musician, songwriter, producer and bassist. He is notable for being a member of ex-KISS guitarist Ace Frehley's band "Frehley's Comet" from 1984 to 1990 and recorded and performed with Peter Frampton from 1979 to 2011. He has also recorded with John Waite, The Rolling Stones, Stephen Stills, Dave Edmunds, Robin Trower, Scandal, Billy Idol and David Lee Roth. He lives in New York.

In the early 1990s John was a Parks Commissioner for the town of Wappingers Falls, New York. In 2006, Peter Frampton played outdoors in Wappingers Falls, New York with John for local residents.

As of 2014 he co-hosts a Sunday morning radio show called Cafe Italia on 1450AM WKIP out of Poughkeepsie, NY. "We kicked around the possibility of a weekly radio program that focused on these timeless artists, their connection to Italian music and culture, and generally a show that would pay homage to the songs that are the "soundtrack" to many of our lives."

John is part of the band Four By Fate, which saw him reunite with Tod Howarth.
