The Pangkajene and Islands Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Pangkajene dan Kepulauan, usually shortened to Pangkep), (Makasar: ᨈᨀᨒᨑ, romanized: Pangkajè’ne’, Makasar pronunciation: [paŋkaˈɟeʔnɛʔ]) is a regency of South Sulawesi province of Indonesia. The regency lies primarily on the mainland of Sulawesi's southern peninsula, but also includes the Spermonde Islands (Kepulauan Spermonde) off the west coast of that peninsula, as well as other small islands further west and southwest. The principal town, Pangkajene, lies on Sulawesi, but there is a series of further small towns like Lejang, Labakkang, Bonto-Bonto and Segeri proceeding northwards from Pangkajene along the Trans-Sulawesi Highway. The total land area is 1,112.29 km2, and the population was 305,737 at the 2010 Census[2] and 345,775 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official population estimate as of mid-2023 was 357,846 (comprising 175,700 males and 182,146 females).[1]

Liukang Tupabbiring and Liukang Tupabbiring Utara Districts together comprise about 50 vegetated islands and 70 unvegetated sand cays constituting the Spermonde Islands off the west coast of South Sulawesi; 43 of these islands are named. Liukang Kalmas District comprises 17 other islands more to the west of South Sulawesi.
