West Muna, Administrative region in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.

West Muna encompasses multiple districts including Sawerigadi, Barangka, and Wadaga, spreading across the western portion of Muna Island at 24 meters elevation.

The territory of West Muna formed part of the Srivijaya empire until the 14th century, when Islamic influences began shaping the region's development.

The Muna people of West Muna maintain traditional practices through rice cultivation, sea cucumber gathering, and wood carving crafts in their communities.

The regency capital Sawerigadi functions as the administrative center, with transportation links to other districts through river networks and coastal routes.

West Muna contains extensive teak forests in its northern regions, supporting populations of native wildlife species including babirusa pigs and cuscus marsupials.
