Muara Enim Regency is a regency of South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The regency seat is the town of Muara Enim. The city of Prabumulih is an administrative body separating the main part of Muara Enim to the south of the city from a smaller part to its north. The regency until late 2012 covered an area of 8,587.94 km² and had a population of 717,717 at the 2010 Census; however, on 14 December 2012 five districts from the Muara Enim Regency were split off to form the new Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency. As a result of this creation, the residual regency was left with two physically separate units, together covering 7,482.86 km.2 Within its reduced area it had a population of 551,202 at the 2010 Census and 612,900 at the 2020 Census, the latter comprising 312,953 males and 299,947 females; the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 667,083 (comprising 340,368 males and 326,715 females). In late 2022 it was stated that another six districts were to be separated out to form a new Rambang Lubai Lematang Regency, which would have consisted of the six districts of Rambang, Lubai, Lubai Ulu, Belimbing, Rambang Niru and Empat Petulai Dangku, in all comprised 70 villages (desa) with an area of 2,307.90 km2 and 179,259 people as at mid 2025. However, in view of the moratorium instituted since 2013 by the Indonesian Government on the creation of new provinces and regencies, this proposal has not been carried out as at 2026. Mining and agricultural activities are abundant in the regency and it is also a producer of oil. Notable crops include rice and coconuts.
