East Flores Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Flores Timur) is a regency in East Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia. Established in 1958,[2] the regency has its seat (capital) in Larantuka on Flores Island. It covers a land area of 1,812.65 km2, and it had a population of 232,605 as of the 2010 census[3] and 276,896 at the 2020 Census;[4] the official estimate as of mid-2023 was 289,376.[1] The regency encompasses the eastern tip of the island of Flores, together with all of the adjacent islands of Adonara and Solor to the east of Flores (and both part of the Solor Archipelago), with some much smaller offshore islands. On 4 October 1999, the island of Lembata (formerly called Lomblen) at the eastern end of the Solor Archipelago was separated from the East Flores Regency to create its own Regency.
