The Sula Islands Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Kepulauan Sula) is one of the regencies in North Maluku province of Indonesia. It was originally formed on 25 February 2003, when it encompassed the three large islands comprising the Sula Archipelago, together with minor adjacent islands. However, the largest and most westerly of the three, Taliabu, was split off from the Sula Islands Regency on 14 December 2012 to form a separate regency.

The remaining two islands which now comprise the Regency are Sulabesi (formerly Sanama) and Mangoli (formerly Mangole). The residual regency covers a land area of 5,213.55 km² and had a population of 85,215 at the 2010 Census^[2] and 104,082 at the 2020 Census;^[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 105,095 (comprising 52,697 males and 52,398 females).^[1] The administrative capital is at the town of Sanana on the north part of the east coast of Sulabesi Island.
