Ketapang, Administrative region in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Ketapang is a regency in West Kalimantan with multiple districts spread across varied terrain. The region is shaped by river networks that separate areas of forest, farmland, and human settlements.

The territory was ruled by a historical kingdom before becoming the modern administrative division it is today. In the early 2000s, portions of the regency were separated to form a new adjacent region.

The Keraton Matan palace serves as a museum displaying artifacts and documents from the former Malay kingdom that ruled this territory.

A local airport operates regular flights to major cities throughout the country. Coastal ferry ports provide an alternative way to reach the region.

The region contains extensive palm oil plantations, rubber farms, and mineral deposits, including bauxite and alumina mining operations.
