The Regnenses or Regni is a British Celtic kingdom formed only after the Roman invasion of Britain, located in modern West Sussex. Their capital was Noviomagus Regnorun, known today as Chichester.

The Regnenses were a confederation of tribes, previously under the rule of the Atrebates, joint by Roman influence client kingdom of Rome. The king was Cogidubnus, possibly an Atrebatean noble, made a Roman citizen by emperor Claudius with the name Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus and given the dignity of legatus augusti (legate of the emperor).
