The Clásico Regiomontano, Clásico Regio, Clásico del Norte or Clásico Norteño is a football derby in Nuevo León, Mexico, between crosstown rival teams C.F. Monterrey and Tigres UANL. Since the first Clásico in 1974, the two teams have competed over 100 times for bragging rights and city honour. It is known for being one of the most intensely competed derbies in Mexican football, even being regarded by people in the state of Nuevo León and Northern Mexico as the most important Mexican derby. The match is the biggest game of the season in Nuevo León, and every year, fans wait in line for days outside the stadium just to get tickets, which are often priced at two or three times their regular value.

Historically, and thanks to its founders, Monterrey has been associated with the Monterrey-born society of the city; however, today its fans bring together people of all walks of life. Tigres, nicknamed locally as "the people's team," was associated with the working classes; however, today, its supporters include prominent businessmen and politicians from Nuevo León. Paradoxically, in the state's poorest neighborhoods, Monterrey has a large following, just as in the more affluent neighborhoods, there is a significant presence of Tigres fans.

In August 2018, Monterrey and Tigres had the most expensive squads in Liga MX.
