隆納·雷根號航空母艦(USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76),或直接簡稱雷根號航空母艦,是美國尼米茲級核動力航空母艦的九號艦,也是美國在進入21世紀以後第一艘成軍的航空母艦。2001年時完工下水的雷根號是以美國第40任總統隆納·雷根為名,雷根總統是帶領美國結束冷戰時期、非常受美國人民愛戴的國家領袖,也是第一位本人還在世時就被拿來替軍艦命名的前美國總統。不過由於新艦下水時雷根本人因病無法參加服役儀式,因此是由前第一夫人萳西·雷根(Nancy Reagan)代表出席,2003年7月12日在諾福克海軍基地正式服役,取代星座號航空母艦(USS Constellation CV-64)]
雷根號是美國海軍第7航空母艦戰鬥群(CSG-7)的一部份與第7驅逐戰隊(DESRON-7)指揮官的駐艦。雷根號、第7驅逐戰隊與第14艦載機聯隊(CVW-14)共同組成第7航空母艦戰鬥群,其詳細組成包括:

USS Ronald Reagan departed San Diego on 4 January 2006, on her maiden deployment to conduct naval operations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, as well as to conduct maritime security operations (MSO) in the Persian Gulf. On 28 January 2006, an F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter attempting a night landing aboard Reagan crashed into the ship’s flight deck about 120 miles southeast of Brisbane, Queensland. The aircraft struck the ramp at a low angle, caught fire and skidded overboard. The pilot ejected safely, but the aircraft was lost.The ship entered the Gulf on 22 February 2006, and returned from deployment on 6 July 2006.
USS Ronald Reagan and the Reagan Carrier Strike Group (CSG) departed North Island, Coronado in San Diego on 27 January 2007 on an unscheduled surge deployment to the Western Pacific, fulfilling the role of the forward deployed carrier Kitty Hawk while it underwent maintenance in Japan. On 20 April 2007,Ronald Reagan and her CSG returned to Coronado. The “surge deployment” was part of the Navy’s Fleet Response Plan (FRP), which provides the U.S. with the ability to respond to any global commitment with flexible and sustainable forces and the ability to rapidly respond to a range of situations on short notice.
