We prove that there are finitely many simple closed geodesics on regular tetrahedra in spherical space. Also, for any pair of coprime positive integers $(p,q)$, we find constants $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ depending on $p$ and $q$ and satisfying the inequality $\pi/3\alpha_1\alpha_22\pi/3$, such that a regular spherical tetrahedron with planar angle $\alpha\in(\pi/3, \alpha_1)$ has a unique simple closed geodesic of type $(p,q)$, up to tetrahedron isometry, whilst a regular spherical tetrahedron with planar angle $\alpha\in(\alpha_2, 2\pi/3)$ has no such geodesic.
