Bandung Regency (, ; ) is an administrative landlocked regency located to the south, southeast, east and northeast of the city of Bandung. The northern parts of the Bandung Regency are effectively part of Greater Bandung (technically the whole of the Regency is within the Bandung Metropolitan Area), with the southern third being less urbanized and jutting upwards from the Valley, though not as sharply as the mountain range to the immediate north of Bandung. The Regency is part of the Indonesian province of West Java, and is situated about 75 miles southeast of Jakarta. The town of Soreang is the regency seat.
The Regency was reduced in size as first Cimahi City (which became an independent city on 21 June 2001) and then West Bandung Regency (on 2 January 2007) were split off from the regency, resulting in a land area of 1,740.74 km2.Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 26 September 2025, Kabupaten Bandung Dalam Angka 2025 (summation of 31 District Katalogs as referenced below) In the 2010 Census, the population of this residual area reached 3,178,543 after final adjustments,Biro Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2011. while the 2020 Census increased the total to 3,623,790;Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2021. the official estimate as of mid 2025 was 3,873,653,Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 27 February 2026, Kabupaten Bandung Dalam Angka 2026 (Katalog-BPS 1102001.3204) for an average density of roughly 2,225 per square kilometre.
