Ketapang, Administrative region in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.

The regency extends over 31,588 square kilometers, featuring dense forests, river systems, and agricultural lands across twenty distinct districts.

In 2007, Ketapang Regency underwent a significant administrative change when five districts separated to establish the North Kayong Regency.

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

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