Regino José Otero Gómez (September 7, 1915 – October 21, 1988) was a Cuban professional baseball player who had a long career in the minor leagues in the United States (1936–53), and played briefly with the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball in 1945. He also played 13 years in the Cuban Professional League.

A left-handed batting first baseman, he threw right-handed, and was listed as 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and 165 pounds (75 kg). After his playing career ended, he managed in the U.S., Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela, spent eight years (1959–66) as a coach in the U.S. major leagues, then worked as a scout for two MLB clubs for more than a decade.
