North Barito Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Barito Utara) is one of the thirteen regencies which comprise the Central Kalimantan Province on the island of Kalimantan, Indonesia. It originally included much more of the northern part of the province, but on 10 April 2002 the larger northwestern part of the regency was split off to create a new Murung Raya Regency. Muara Teweh (in Teweh Tengah District) is the capital of the residual North Barito Regency, which covers a land area of 10,152.25 km2. The population of North Barito Regency was 121,573 at the 2010 Census[3] and 154,812 at the 2020 Census;[4] the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 164,621 (comprising 85,120 males and 79,500 females).[2]

Administrative districts

At the 2010 Census, North Barito Regency consisted of six districts (kecamatan), but three additional districts were subsequently created by the splitting of existing districts. The first three districts named are in the southern 31.5% of the regency, the next four (the 'Teweh' districts) are in the more populated middle 33%, and the last two (the 'Lahei' districts) form the more mountainous northern 35%. All nine are tabulated below with their areas and population totals from the 2010 Census[3] and the 2020 Census;[4] together with the official estimates as at mid 2025.[2] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (a total of 93 rural desa and 10 urban kelurahan), and its postal codes.
