Steven Grae Regeling (born 2 October 1959) is an Australian former motorcycle speedway rider who rode in the British League for Leicester Lions in the early 1980s and later for Kings Lynn Stars, before riding for several years in the National League for the Exeter Falcons and Middlesbrough Bears. He won the Australian Championship in 1987.
Regeling was born in 1959 in Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia. His initial experience was in short track racing, in which his father and older brother had also competed. He then moved into speedway in Brisbane in the late 1970s with the famous Brisbane Exhibition Ground being his home track.
He was signed by Martin Rogers for the Leicester Lions in 1980, but suffered a broken leg at Swindon at the start of the season. After recovering he was loaned out to the National League team Workington Comets, and impressive performances saw him recalled to ride for the Lions before the season ended. After being loaned out to Boston Barracudas in 1981, where he averaged 8.51 from 18 matches, he became a regular rider for the Lions in the two years that followed, until the club folded.
He then moved on to the King's Lynn Stars in 1984 and also represented Australia at international level.
After finishing fourth in 1986, Regeling won the Australian championship in 1987 and finished runner-up to Phil Crump the following year.
