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. 60.99% of the regency is forested.
