Edward Van Buren Regan (May 14, 1930 – October 18, 2014) (nicknamed Ned)^[1] was an American politician and public figure from New York State. He was a member of the Republican Party.

Regan's political career began on the Buffalo Common Council. He rose to prominence as the third Erie County Executive during the 1970s. Regan then became New York State Comptroller, and served in that role for nearly 15 years. He appeared on the Republican ticket in five statewide elections, more than any politician in the history of New York. From 2000 to 2004, Regan was president of Baruch College of the City University of New York, where he also served as a professor.
