The 8th Engineer Regiment is a reserve engineer regiment of the Australian Army. Originally raised as the "8th Combat Engineer Regiment", the unit provided support during the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the APEC Australia 2007, and is headquartered at Bullecourt Barracks, Adamstown, New South Wales, where it forms part of the 8th Brigade.

In late 2013, the regiment was reorganised when one sub-unit – the 102nd Construction Squadron – was transferred to 8 CER from the 21st Construction Regiment, following the decision to disband that unit. The regiment subsequently assumed the designation of the "8th Engineer Regiment".
