North Labuhanbatu Regency (Kabupaten Labuhanbatu Utara, alternatively Kabupaten Labuhan Batu Utara) is a regency of North Sumatra, Indonesia, created on 21 July 2008 (in accordance with Law No. 23 of 24 June 2008) by being carved out of the north-western districts of the existing Labuhanbatu Regency, which until 2008 covered an area of 9,703 square kilometres and had a population of 840,382 according to the 2000 census. [2] 60.99% of the regency is forested. [3] The new North Labuhanbatu Regency covers 3,545.8 square kilometres and had a population of 331,660 at the 2010 Census, [4] rising to 381,994 at the 2020 Census; [5] the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 408,749 (comprising 207,098 males and 201,651 females). [1] The Kualuh River is located in this regency. The administrative centre of the regency is at the town of Aek Kanopan.

North Labuhanbatu Regency is bordered by Asahan Regency to the northwest, Toba Regency to the west, by three regencies to the south (Garoga District of North Tapanuli Regency, Aek Bilah District of South Tapanuli Regency, and Dolok Sigompulon District of North Padang Lawas Regency), and by Labuhanbatu Regency to the east. To the northeast it has a short coastline along the Strait of Malacca.
