Tomàs Carles Regalat i Esglaó (14 September 1902 – 18 July 1935) was a Salvadoran politician and professor who served as the president of the State of Granada throughout its existence from 1933 until 1935. Regalat Esglaó was one of the leading figures of the 1933 coup d'état which established the State of Granada as an ally and client state of the far-left National Council for Peace and Order. He was executed two days after being deposed by the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council.
