Kota Sumenep, officially the Kota Sumenep District, was previously known as Town of Samanap in English, is a town and district which serves as the regency seat of Sumenep Regency, in the East Java province of Indonesia. It is the second smallest and most highly populated district in Sumenep Regency, with an area of 27.84 square kilometres (10.75 sq mi) and the population of 77,155 as at 2025. The administrative capital is Pamolokan. On 29 June 2004, the western half of the Kota Sumenep District was removed and formed into a separate district, namely Batuan District. This district is located 175 km east of Surabaya and 965 km east of Jakarta. Geographically, Kota Sumenep is near the southeastern coast of Madura island (but is separated from the sea by Kalianget District). Infrastructure and settlements from Sumenep Regency are also concentrated in this district, which is the center of government and economy for regency at the far eastern end of the island of Madura. Hugely prosperous in the eighteenth century, it is now a quiet, peaceful backwater, with its past glory still in evidence.
