John Paul Lyndon Regis, MBE (born 13 October 1966) is a British former sprinter.
He was the first British athlete to run under 20 seconds for the distance, and still held the UK record for the event in 2023 before it was finally broken by Zharnel Hughes.
On 3 March 1991, Regis was a member of the British team which set the world indoor record for the rarely contested 4 x 200 metres with a time of 1:22.11, which has not yet been bettered.
[citation needed] In 2000 Regis and fellow sprinter Marcus Adam were recruited for bobsleigh training with the British team.
