Bogor Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Bogor, Indonesian pronunciation: [kabuˌpat̪ɛn ˈbɔɡɔr]; Sundanese: ᮊᮘᮥᮕᮒᮨᮔ᮪ ᮘᮧᮌᮧᮁ, romanized: Kabupatén Bogor, Betawi: Kabupatén Bogor) is a landlocked regency (kabupaten) of West Java province in Indonesia, situated 40-50 kilometers south from the city of Jakarta as a national capital. Covering an area of 2,767.27 km2, it is considered largely a bedroom community for Jakarta, and was home to 5,427,068 people at the 2020 census. The official estimate as at mid 2024 was 5,809,790. The town of Cibinong serves as the seat of the regency administration.
The area has witnessed significant population growth. Two areas formerly within the regency have been split off as autonomous cities; on 27 April 1999, the city of Depok was unified with some neighbouring districts of Bogor Regency to form an autonomous city of Depok (independent of the regency), while Bogor city had previously been formed as an autonomous city (similarly independent of the regency). In spite of these subtractions, Bogor Regency remains the most populous regency in Indonesia.
