Toba Regency is a landlocked regency in North Sumatra. Its seat is Balige. The regency covers an area of 2,021.8 square kilometres; it had a population of 173,129 at the 2010 census and 206,199 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as of mid 2025 was 219,580 (comprising 109,884 males and 109,696 females). Although landlocked, the regency includes the eastern shore of the vast inland Lake Toba. The regency was originally created on 23 November 1998 from the northern districts of North Tapanuli Regency, and was formerly known as Toba Samosir Regency, even after its western part was split off as Samosir Regency on 18 December 2003 (apart from Muara District, which remained part of North Tapanuli), until the residual regency's name was officially shortened in 2020.
