Sarmi Regency is one of the regencies (kabupaten) in Papua Province of Indonesia. It was formed from the western districts which had until then been part of Jayapura Regency with effect from 12 November 2002. It covers an area of 18,034.0 km2 (note that the province-level Statistics Bureau gives an alternate area figure of 14,068.37 km2), and had a population of 32,971 at the 2010 Census and 41,515 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 43,090 (comprising 22,890 males and 20,200 females). The regency's administrative centre is at the town of Sarmi. Sarmi is named from an acronym of the five main ethnic groups, which are the Sobei (Sobey), Armati (Kwerba), Rumbuai (Bonggo), Manirem, and Isirawa. These five ethnic groups do not represent the overall diversity in this regency which has 87 ethnic groups, each with their own language.
