Karawang Regency is a regency (kabupaten) of West Java, Indonesia. The town of Karawang is its administrative centre. The regency covers an area of 1,913.71 km2 and had a population of 2,127,791 people at the 2010 Census, which grew to 2,361,019 at the 2020 Census, and continues to grow by about 40,000 new residents each year. The official estimate for mid 2025 was 2,581,245 (comprising 1,302,947 males and 1,278,298 females). The regency borders Bekasi and Bogor Regencies in the west, the Java Sea in the north, Subang Regency in the east, and Purwakarta Regency in the south. The regency lies on the eastern outskirts of Metropolitan Jakarta, just outside the Jabodetabek region, and is the site of considerable industrial activity (like factories). The area continues to grow following the establishment of new factories by domestic and multinational companies in industrial areas. However, due to ever-expanding of Jakarta's suburbs (primarily from the eastward expansion of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road and the Cikopo-Palimanan Toll Road), it has also seen a heavy influx of housing developments as well as a surge of new residents.
