The Committee on Regional Development (REGI) is a standing committee of the European Parliament. It is responsible for the European Union's regional and cohesion policy, including the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund, territorial cooperation, urban and rural territorial development and the Union's outermost regions.

The committee examines how EU funding is used to reduce economic, social and territorial disparities between regions. It also scrutinises the design and implementation of cohesion-policy programmes and the effect of other Union policies on regional development.
