Pasaman Regency is a regency (kabupaten) of West Sumatra, Indonesia. It has an area of 3,947.63 square kilometres (1,524.19 sq mi) and had a population of 252,981 at the 2010 Census^[2] and 299,851 at the 2020 Census;^[3] the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 307,425 - comprising 154,712 males and 152,713 females.^[1] The regency seat is the town of Lubuk Sikaping.

Pasaman is located in the north-east of West Sumatra. The town of Bonjol, birthplace of Tuanku Imam Bonjol, is notable for being the area where the Trans-Sumatran Highway crosses the equator. Although the majority tribe in West Sumatra is Minangkabau, in Pasaman there is another big tribe, the Mandailing from North Sumatra, so Pasaman means "equality" between two tribes in the Minangkabau language (Indonesian: Persamaan). The first Vice-Regent of Pasaman was H. Ahmad Dahlan Nasution from Duo Koto, King of Sontang (kingdom of Mandailing in Pasaman).
