Jean-Pierre Reguerraz (1939 – November 2, 2007) was a well-known Argentine stage and film actor noted for his deep voice.

He performed at the Teatro Payro in "Marathon", "Rayuela", and "Ivanov".cite web |title="Actor Jean-Pierre Reguerraz dies" |publisher="Buenos Aires Herald" |date=November 4, 2007 |url=http://www.buenosairesherald.com/entertainment/note.jsp?idContent=437441 | accessdate=2007-11-04 ]

He appeared in 35 films, mostly in supporting roles, including the critically-acclaimed "El Armario" in 2001. In the 2006 Oscar-entry film "Family Law", which was distributed in the United States, he played "Uncle Eduardo", a shady attorney. Movie critic Ty Burr of "The Boston Globe" said "Family Law" "gets a lift" from Reguerraz' portrayal.
