Batanghari (Indonesian: Kabupaten Batang Hari, literally "Stick of the Day Regency") is a regency of Jambi Province in Sumatra, Indonesia. It originally covered a wider area, but on 4 October 1999 this was split between a new Muaro Jambi Regency in the east (surrounding the city of Jambi) and a reduced Batang Hari Regency in the west, which now covers an area of 5,804.83 km2. It had a population of 241,334 at the 2010 census and 301,700 at the 2020 census; the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 316,550 (comprising 161,299 males and 155,251 females). The administrative capital is the town of Muara Bulian (meaning "Bulian Estuary" or "Bulian Delta").
