Sijunjung Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Sijunjung; pronounced [kabuˌpat̪ɛn siˈd͡ʒuɲd͡ʒʊŋ]) formerly known as Sawahlunto Sijunjung (Indonesian pronunciation: [sawahˌlun̪t̪o siˈd͡ʒuɲd͡ʒʊŋ]), is an inland regency (kabupaten) in West Sumatra, Indonesia.

of 201,823 at the 2010 census and 235,045 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as of mid 2025 was 249,790 (comprising 126,310 males and 123,480 females). The regency seat is the town of Muaro Sijunjung. The regency was created from the former Sawahlunto Regency, after the districts comprising Sawahlunto town became a city, administratively separated from the regency, which was then renamed.
Most of the people work in trade or as government employees, and the rest are farmers. There are few university graduates because most people are not interested in continuing their studies for reasons of economic and environmental culture. Many of the natural resources of this regency are not explored and utilized because of the mountainous geography.
