The RegioExpress is a fast regional train in Switzerland, run by the Swiss Federal Railways.

Its speed is considerably faster than regional trains at the same level, as it does not stop at all stations served by the regional trains. Nonetheless, it is slightly slower than InterRegio trains. Swiss Federal Railways describes the trains as ones that serve "rapidly into the regions".

Its use is less frequent than it was previously. The main line running as a RegioExpress line (abbreviation: RX) is the Rheintal Express, from St. Gallen through Sargans to Chur.

Most RX trains use some older train sets.
