Muaro Jambi Regency is a regency of Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. It was created on 4 October 1999 by the separation of what were formerly the eastern districts of Batang Hari Regency. It surrounds on all sides the major city of Jambi, the provincial capital, and includes many of the expanding suburbs of Jambi outside the city boundaries; consequently it has experienced population growth greater than elsewhere in the province. From the 4th until the 13th century, it was the seat of the Hindu-Buddhist Melayu Kingdom. It has an area of 5,264.00 km2 and had a population of 342,952 at the 2010 census[2] and 390,347 at the 2020 census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 is 418,799 (comprising 215,295 males and 203,504 females).[1]

Administrative districts[edit]

At the time of the 2010 census, the regency was divided into eight districts (kecamatan): Jambi Luar Kota (Jambi city's suburbs), Kumpeh, Kumpeh Ulu, Maro Sebo, Mestong, Sekernan, Sungai Bahar (Bahar River) and Sungai Gelam (Gelam River). Subsequently, another three districts have been added by splitting away from existing districts - Bahar Selatan (South Bahar), Bahar Utara (North Bahar) and Taman Rajo.

These eleven districts are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 census[2] and the 2020 census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, and the number of administrative villages in each district (a total of 150 rural desa and 5 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
