Kotabaru Regency is one of the nine regencies in the Indonesian province of South Kalimantan. It consists of two parts; the smaller but more populated part comprises Laut Island ("Sea Island"), the largest island off the coast of Kalimantan, together with the smaller Sebuku Island off Laut Island's east coast and even smaller islands nearby; the larger but less populated part consists of districts on the 'mainland' of Kalimantan.

The regency has an area of 9,442.46 km2, and had a population of 290,142 at the 2010 Census[2] and 325,622 at the 2020 Census.[3] The administrative capital is Kotabaru town at the northern tip of Laut Island. Currently, a bridge to connect Laut Island to Batulicin, mainland Kalimantan is under contrusction.[4][5]

Administrative districts[]

At the time of the 2010 Census, Kotabaru Regency was divided into twenty districts (kecamatan), but an additional district (Pulau Laut Tanjung Selayar) was added subsequently from part of Pulau Laut Barat District, and then in 2020 a further district (Pulau Laut Sigam) was added from part of Pulau Laut Utara District (which includes the administrative capital, Kotabaru town).
The districts are listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[6] and the 2020 Census.[7] The table also includes the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, the number of (named) islands in each district, and its post code.
