David Regis (French: Régis, born December 2, 1968) is a retired professional soccer player and coach who played as a defender.

[1] Regis was born in La Trinité, Martinique, and began his pro career in 1988 with Valenciennes FC and played there until 1993.

[4] From the 2004–05 season, Regis played at the lower levels of the Belgian Leagues with FC Bleid respectively and retired in the summer of 2008.

Steve Sampson, the U.S. national coach, jumped at the chance of having an experienced left back on the World Cup squad (though Regis's preferred position was always center back – where he was most successful in his club career), and promised Regis a starting position on the team if he became a U.S. citizen.

Regis received the starting spot from Sampson, in front of long-time starter Jeff Agoos.
