Lahat, Administrative division in South Sumatra, Indonesia.

Kabupaten Lahat extends across 5,311 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, bordered by Muara Enim, Musi Rawas, and the province of Bengkulu.

The regency received its official administrative status on May 20, 1869, developing from traditional tribal territories into a structured governmental region under Indonesian rule.

The territory encompasses settlements of multiple ethnic groups, including Lematang, Kikim, Lintang, and Pasemah communities, each maintaining distinct customs and traditions.

Through its network of 24 sub-districts containing 378 villages, the regency provides administrative services to more than 427,000 residents across urban and rural areas.

Archaeological excavations near the Musi River revealed 38 ancient funerary urns in Kunduran village, demonstrating early burial practices of maritime Southeast Asian cultures.
