Muara Enim Regency is a regency of South Sumatra Province, Indonesia.

The regency seat is the town of Muara Enim. The city of Prabumulih is an administrative

to its north. The regency until 2012 covered an area of 8,587.94 km² and had a
population of 717,717 at the 2010 Census;[2] however, in December 2012 five districts of
the Muara Enim Regency split off to form the new Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency.
The residual regency now covers 7,483.06 km2 and within its reduced area had a

Abab) were separated out from this Regency in 2013 to form the new Penukal Abab
Lematang Ilir Regency. Howver, four additional districts (Panang Enim, Lubai Ulu,
Belimbing and Belida Darat) have subsequently been created by the division of existing
districts, while the former Rambang Dangku has been split into two new districts
(Rambang Nuru and Empat Petulai Dangku). The resulting twenty-two districts, which
are sub-divided into 255 administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan), are
listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census [6] and the 2020
Census,[7] together with the number of villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each
