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 body separating the main part of Muara Enim to the south of the city from a smaller part 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;[1] however, in December 2012 five districts of the Muara Enim Regency split off to form the new Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency.
