James "Jim" O'Regan (14 December 1901 – October 1982) was an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer who played as centre-back for the Cork and Dublin senior teams as well as the Offaly junior team.
Born near Kinsale, County Cork, O'Regan first played competitive Gaelic games during his studies at the De La Salla College in Waterford. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-three when he first linked up with the Offaly junior team. He made his senior debut for Dublin during the 1925 championship before becoming a dual player with Cork's senior teams the following year. O'Regan immediately became a regular in the inter-county scene and won four All-Ireland medals, four Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals as well as a Munster football medal.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial teams on a number of occasions, O'Regan won several Railway Cup medals as a dual player. At club level he enjoyed a distinguished career with various club teams such as Kinsale, Garda and Courcey Rovers.
Throughout his career O'Regan made a combined total of 47 championship appearances for Cork. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1935 championship.
