La Regeneración was a liberal periodical published in Paraguay by the brothers José Segundo Decoud, Juan José Decoud and Adolfo Decoud, along with Facundo Machaín. It was Paraguay's first wholly private newspaper, funded primarily by returning exiles from Argentina in the aftermath of the Triple Alliance War, such as Juan Francisco Decoud. It ran only briefly, between the end of 1869 and 1870, closing when its office in Asunción was raided by a group of the city's Italian community, due to the publication of a news article which falsely attributed a murder to an Italian man, but had dispropportionate importance on the country's politics in the postwar era.
