Sumbawa Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Sumbawa) is a Regency (Kabupaten) of the Indonesian Province of West Nusa Tenggara. It is located on the island of Sumbawa and covers an area of 6,643.99 km2, following the separation on 18 December 2003 of what were until then its westernmost five districts to form the newly created West Sumbawa Regency. It includes the substantial island of Moyo, lying off the north coast of Sumbawa, as well as a number of smaller islands off the northwest coast of Sumbawa (in Alas Strait between Lombok and Sumbawa). The population of the Regency at the 2010 Census was 415,789, which rose at the 2020 Census to 509,753; the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 531,869 (comprising 266,023 males and 265,846 females). The capital is the town of Sumbawa Besar on the north coast of Sumbawa Island, south of Moyo Island.
