Karl Friedrich Anton Hermann "Charles" Régnier[1] (22 July 1914 – 13 September 2001) was a German actor, director and translator.

Charles Regnier grew up in Strasbourg and Badenweiler where his maternal grandparents owned the Schloss Hausbaden hotel.

After his father's suicide in 1924, his mother first moved with her four sons to Heidelberg, and then to Montreux on Lake Geneva.

Here, Charles met a number of celebrities, including the writer Klabund, who awakened Regnier's interest in literature and the theatre.

[1] In 1941, Regnier was invited by Otto Falckenberg to join the ensemble of the Munich Kammerspiele, where he remained until 1958.
