North Musi Rawas Regency (Indonesian : Kabupaten Musi Rawas Utara, abbreviation Muratara) is a regency of South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. It takes its name from the two main rivers which drain that area, Musi River and Rawas River. This regency was created on 10 June 2013 by splitting off the seven northernmost districts of Musi Rawas Regency.
