Reginald ("Regi") Waldi Blinker (born June 4, 1969 in Paramaribo, Suriname) is a Dutch former professional footballer of Surinamese extraction who played as a left winger, also being known for his dread-locked hairstyle during his playing career.

Blinker began his career with Feyenoord Rotterdam in 1986. He stayed at "de Kuip" for 10 seasons, including one on loan at Den Bosch, before joing Sheffield Wednesday in 1995-96, scoring a brace in his debut, a 3-2 win against Aston Villa, instantly becoming a crowd favorite. He moved to Celtic in part-exchange for Paolo di Canio during 1997, when he was coached by "Feije" legend Wim Jansen.

Blinker played in Scotland for 3 seasons, returning home in the summer of 2000 to sign for RBC Roosendaal. The next season he signed for Sparta Rotterdam, where he finished his professional career in 2003. He played for amateur team Deltasport Vlaardingen for a few more years before officially retiring in the summer of 2006.

He won 3 caps for the Dutch national team while at Feyenoord, making his debut in 1993 and his last appearance a year later.
