Puncak Regency is one of the regencies (kabupaten) in the Indonesian province of Central Papua; it is not to be confused with Puncak Jaya Regency, which is within the same province, and from whose western districts those districts now forming Puncak Papua Regency were separated in 2008. It covers an area of 7,396.47 km2, and had a population of 93,218 at the 2010 Census[2] and 114,741 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as of mid-2022 was 116,279.[4] The administrative centre is at Ilaga. The name of the regency is currently being changed to Puncak Papua Regency.[5]
