The Kropyvna Regiment (Ukrainian: Кропивнянський полк, romanizedKropyvniantskyi polk) was one the territorial-administrative subdivisions of the Cossack Hetmanate. The regiment's capital was the city of Kropyvna, now a village in Cherkasy Oblast of central Ukraine.

In 1648, during Khmelnytsky Uprising, Irkliiv Regiment was raised, with colonel Mykhailo Teliuchenko commanding it.[1] On 16 October 1649 Irkliiv and neighboring part of Lubny Regiment were merged to form Kropyvna Regiment.[2][3] The only regimental colonel was Filon Dzhelaliy.

Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky disbanded the regiment in 1658 after death of colonel Filon Dzhelaliy. The regiments sotnias were all transferred to recreated Irkliiv Regiment and Lubny Regiment.[1]
