Ketapang Regency is a regency in the south of the province of West Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo in Indonesia. Until 2007 Ketapang Regency occupied an area of 34,120 km2 (roughly the same land area as the Kingdom of the Netherlands), but on 2 January 2007 five districts in the north-west of the regency were carved out to form a new North Kayong Regency. The reduced Ketapang Regency has an area of 30,012 km2, and at the census in 2010 it had 427,460 inhabitants; the 2020 census revealed a growth in population to 570,657 over the intervening decade; the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 607,049 (comprising 314,957 males and 292,092 females). The principal town lies at Ketapang, whose urban area consists of the districts of Benua Kayong (except the desa of Negeri Baru) and Delta Pawan, with a total population of about 137,000 inhabitants.
