Banyumas (Javanese: ꦧꦚꦸꦩꦱ꧀, formerly spelled Banjoemas) Regency is an inland regency (Indonesian: kabupaten) in the southwestern part of Central Java province in Indonesia. Its capital is the town of Purwokerto, but that town no longer has a central administration and is split over four of the districts within the Regency, with a combined area of 41.65 km² and a population of 237,940 as of mid 2025. The Regency covers an area of 1,391.15 km², and had a population of 1,554,527 at the 2010 Census and 1,776,918 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate of the population as of mid 2025 was 1,865,270 (comprising 937,725 males and 927,545 females).

The term Banyumasan is also used as an adjective referring to the culture, language, and peoples of the wider Banyumas area, equivalent to the pre-independence Banyumas Residency. The language of Banyumasan is of Austronesian origin and is usually considered to be a dialect of Javanese.
