North Lampung Regency (Kabupaten Lampung Utara) is an inland regency (kabupaten) of Lampung Province, Sumatra, in Indonesia. As originally created, it covered a much larger share (over 53%) of the land area of Lampung Province, but on 16 August 1991 its western districts were split off to create a new West Lampung Regency (at that time inclusive of the subsequently-separated West Pesisir Regency); on 3 January 1997 its north-eastern districts were split off to create a new Tulang Bawang Regency (at that time inclusive of the subsequently-separated Mesuji Regency and West Tulang Bawang Regency); and on 20 April 1999 its north-western districts were split off to create a new Way Kanan Regency.
The residual North Lampung Regency has an area of 2,725.63 km2 and had a population of 583,925 at the 2010 census[2] and 633,099 at the 2020 census;[3] the official estimate as of mid-2023 was 666,618 (comprising 339,226 males and 327,392 females).[1] The regency seat is the town of Kotabumi.
