Gayo Lues Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Gayo Lues) is a regency in the Aceh Special Region of Indonesia. It is located on the island of Sumatra. The regency was created in 2002 under Statute UU 4/2002 from the northern part of Aceh Tenggara (Southeast Aceh Regency). Its capital is Blangkejeren. The regency covers an area of 5,549.91 square kilometres and had a population of 79,560 at the 2010 Census and 99,532 at the 2020 Census.[2] Along with the Central Aceh Regency and the Bener Meriah Regency, it is home to the Gayo people.[3]

90% of the inhabitants make their living from farming. Products include chili peppers, tobacco, coffee, and lemongrass, fish, rice, candle nut, , coconut, vanilla, kapok, chocolate, sugarcane, ginger, clove, , turmeric, and sugar palm.[4] Logging is reportedly a major problem in the regency which is the least populated area of the province with less than 2% of the total population.[5]
