West Lampung Regency is a regency of Lampung Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. Until 2012 it had an area of 4,950.4 km² of which forests occupied some 57% of the total area (as of 2011).[2] It had a population of 418,560 people at the 2010 Census.

However, on 25 October 2012 the southwestern part of this area was separated from West Lampung Regency to form the new West Pesisir Regency (with its administrative centre at the town of Krui). The residual Lampung Barat Regency now covers an area of 2,116.59 km² and this area had a population of 277,296 at the 2010 Census and 302,139 at the 2020 Census.[3] The regency seat is at the town of Liwa.

Administrative Districts[]

West Lampung Regency consisted until 2012 of seventeen districts (kecamatan), but the southwestern eight districts were split off in 2012 to form the new Pesisir Barat (West Coast) Regency. Since that removal, six new districts have been created within the residual area of the Regency, by splitting existing districts. The areas and populations of the resulting fifteen districts at the 2010 Census[4] and the 2020 Census[5] are tabulated below. They are subdivided into 131 villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan), each administered by a lurah.[2]
