The Ichnia Regiment (Ukrainian: Ічнянський полк, romanized: Ichnianskyi polk) was one of the territorial-administrative subdivisions of the Cossack Hetmanate. The regiment's capital was the city of Ichnia, now in Chernihiv Oblast of northern Ukraine.

Regiment was raised by colonel Petro Holovatskyi in and around the town of Ichnia in January 1648, during Khmelnytsky Uprising. Shortly after Treaty of Zboriv, in October 1649, the regiment was disbanded. The regiment was reduced to 2 sotnias which were then transferred to Pryluky Regiment.
