A process for the regeneration of a coked platinum, or polymetallic platinum reforming catalyst with ozone. The coked catalyst is contacted, and carbon burned from the catalyst at temperatures ranging from about 20 DEG C. to 200 DEG C., preferably about 60 DEG C. to 150 DEG C., with a gaseous stream containing ozone in concentration ranging from about 1 to 50 volume percent ozone sufficient to substantially deplete said catalyst of sufficient carbon to restore the activity of the catalyst to that of the corresponding fresh catalyst.
