Central Halmahera Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Halmahera Tengah) is a regency of North Maluku Province, Indonesia. The regency was originally formed on 15 August 1990 from part of the former North Maluku Regency, but on 25 February 2003 parts of the new regency were split off to form a separate East Halmahera Regency and the city of Kota Tidore Kepulauan. It now comprises just the southern half of the southeastern peninsula of Halmahera Island, together with part (the northeastern corner) of the southern peninsula of that island.
The regency covers a land area of 2,485.76 km2, together with a related sea area of 6,104.65 km2. It had a population of 42,815 at the 2010 Census[2] and 56,802 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 59,096,[4] but the official estimate for mid 2023 produced a massive and unexplained rise to 96,977 persons (comprising 59,884 males and 37,093 females).[1] The capital lies at the town of Weda.
