Banyuasin (Musi: Ayomasen) is a regency of South Sumatra Province in Indonesia. The Regency was formed on 10 April 2002 from the coastal and eastern areas formerly part of the Musi Banyuasin Regency. It takes its name from the main river which drains that area, the Banyuasin River. Pangkalan Balai is the regency seat. The regency borders Musi Banyuasin Regency, Jambi province and Bangka Strait to the north, Bangka Strait to the east, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, Muara Enim Regency, and the city of Palembang (which it almost surrounds on most sides) to the south, and Musi Banyuasin Regency to the west.[2] It has an area of 11,832.99 km2 and had a population of 749,107 at the 2010 census[3] and 836,914 at the 2020 census;[4] the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 839,401.[1] Much of the regency is coastal lowland.[5]

As at 2010, the Banyuasin Regency was subdivided into fifteen districts (kecamatan), subsequently increased by six to twenty-one districts which are listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010[3] and 2020[4] censuses, together with the official estimates as at mid 2022.[1] The table also includes the location of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 287 rural desa and 17 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
