Kediri Regency (Javanese: ꦏꦣꦶꦫꦶ) is a regency (kabupaten) located in East Java province, Indonesia. It is one of two 'Daerah Tingkat II' that has the name 'Kediri' (the other is the City of Kediri, which is separate from the Regency and whose area and population are thus excluded from the Regency totals).
