The County of Regenstein was a mediæval statelet of the Holy Roman Empire.

The first documentary mention of Regenstein was 1162, with Count Conrad, son of Poppo I, Count of Blankenburg, of the House of Reginbodonen [Reginbodonen de icon] .

The most renowned count was Albert II (131049) [Albrecht II. von Regenstein de icon] , who in the 30 years of the 14th century was frequently in dispute with the leaders of the surrounding towns, the Bishop of Halberstadt and the abbess of Quedlinburg. These tales were romanticised in the ballad "The Robber Count" ( _de. Der Raubgraf) by Gottfried August Bürger and composed by Johann Philipp Kirnberger and the novel of the same name by Julius Wolff [Julius Wolff de icon] .

In the 15th century the comital family acquired nearby Blankenburg castle; Regenstein Castle lapsed and was left to ruin. The last scion of the comital family, Count John Ernest, died in 1599.
