The Regiment was a British television drama series produced by the BBC. First broadcast on BBC One in 1972 it starred Christopher Cazenove and followed the story of a British Army regiment from the view of two families.

The Regiment was based on a single 1970 play that was part of the BBC Drama Playhouse series. The series followed the Cotswold Regiment from 1895 to 1904 and in particular the Gaunt and Bright families. The first series broadcast in 1972 related to the regiment's time with the Boer War, the second 1973 series followed the regiment in the British Raj in India.

It once received a brief review in the Glasgow Weekly News "The Regiment: ought to be disbanded".

The theme music to the series was the finale of the Triumphal March from "Caractacus" by Sir Edward Elgar.
