The Lingga Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Lingga) is a group of 600 islands in Indonesia, located south of Singapore and along both sides of the equator, off the eastern coast of Riau Province on Sumatra island. They are due south of the populated Riau Archipelago, known for the industrial island of Batam and the tourist-frequented island of Bintan, although the Lingga Islands themselves are rarely visited due to the infrequent local transportation. The equator goes through the northern tip of Lingga Island, the main island in the archipelago. Administratively they form a Regency of the Riau Islands Province with a land area of 2,193.93 km2 and a population of 86,244 people at the 2010 census and 98,633 at the 2020 census; the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 101,472 (comprising 51.8% males and 48.2% females). The regency seat lies at Daik on Lingga Island. The population are mainly Malay, Bugis and Chinese (predominantly Hakka, Teochew and Hokkien).
