"Regina caeli" (tamka: reˈdʒina ˈtʃeli; maana yake Malkia wa Mbingu)ni antifona inayotumika kumuelekea Bikira Maria katika Kanisa la Kilatini wakati wa Pasaka, kuanzia Dominika ya Ufufuko wa Yesu hadi Pentekoste. 

Katika siku hizo hamsini ndiyo antifona pekee inayotumika kumalizia Sala ya mwisho ya Liturujia ya Vipindi "Finally one of the antiphons of the Blessed Virgin Mary is said. In Eastertide this is always the Regina caeli" (General Instruction of the Liturgy of the Hours, p. 18, paragraph 92). lakini pia inashika nafasi ya sala ya Angelus (inayofanyika mara tatu kwa siku: asubuhi, adhuhuri na jioni).
