Banjar Regency government office

Soeria Winata, regent of Martapura during [colonial period](/source/Dutch_East_Indies) in 1870.

**Banjar Regency** is one of the eleven [regencies](/source/Regencies_of_Indonesia) in the [Indonesian](/source/Indonesia) [province](/source/Provinces_of_Indonesia) of [South Kalimantan](/source/South_Kalimantan); the [capital](/source/Capital_(political)) is [Martapura](/source/Martapura%2C_South_Kalimantan). It covers an area of 4,668.5 km2, and had a population of 506,839 at the 2010 Census,[2] and 565,635 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 595,717 (comprising 300,735 males and 294,982 females).[1] It lies immediately to the east of the city of [Banjarmasin](/source/Banjarmasin) and north of the city of [Banjarbaru](/source/Banjarbaru), which it surrounds on the latter's west, north and east sides; the regency capital of Martapura is immediately north of Banjarbaru, of which it is effectively an extension. This [regency](/source/Regency) is noted for its [diamond](/source/Diamond) [mines](/source/Mining) and its people's religiosity (of [Islam](/source/Islam)). Motto: *"Barakat*" ([Banjarese](/source/Banjarese_language):"Blessing").

## Administration

Until 20 April 1999, Banjar Regency included the large town of Banjarbaru, but on that date Banjarbaru was separated from the regency and created as an independent city. At the time of the 2010 Census, the residual Banjar Regency was divided into nineteen [districts](/source/Districts_of_Indonesia) (*kecamatan*). Subsequently a twentieth district (Cintapuri Darussalam) was created by division from Simpang Empat District.

The districts are listed 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 2025.[1] The table also includes the number of [administrative villages](/source/Administrative_village) in each district (a total of 277 rural *desa* and 13 urban *kelurahan*), and its post code. For ease of reference these are grouped geographically into three sections - a western group adjacent to Banjarmasin City, a central or Martapura group immediately north of Banjarbaru City, and a much larger but more sparely-populated group to the east and north of Banjarbaru; this grouping has no administrative significance. Fourteen of the districts (including the entire Western and Martapura groups, and the western part of the third group) lie within the official [Banjarbaru metropolitan area](/source/List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_Indonesia).
