Bima Regency is a regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Bima) of the Indonesian Province of West Nusa Tenggara. It is located on the island of Sumbawa and the capital is Woha. The Regency covers an area of 4,218.63 km2, and had a population of 438,522 at the 2010 Census[2] and 514,105 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 545,571 (comprising 273,256 males and 272,315 females).[1] It administratively excludes but geographically completely surrounds Bima City on the landward side.

It has two non-contiguous parts, which are separated by the northeastern coastal portion of Dompu Regency. The larger eastern half of Bima Regency covers the easternmost quarter of the island (excluding Bima City), and comprises sixteen districts. This includes two substantial offshore islands (Sangeang Island to the northeast of Sumbawa and Banta Island to the east) and 89 smaller islands. The smaller western part of Bima Regency covers the northern half of the Sanggar Peninsula, which is dominated by Mount Tambora, and comprises Sanggar District and Tambora District; to the north-east of this part is Sanggar Bay. Three bodies of water border the regency - Bima Bay, Waworada Bay, and Sape Strait.

The Regency is nearly co-terminus with the former Sultanate of Bima and includes the nearby islands of Sangeang, Banta, Managate and Kelapa. The island of Kambing, which lies in Bima Bay, is also part of the Regency.
