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 population of 233,865 as of mid-2023.^[1] The Regency covers an area of 1,391.15 km², and had a population of 1,554,527 at the 2010 Census^[2] and 1,776,918 at the 2020 Census;^[3] the official estimate of the population as of mid-2023 was 1,828,573 (comprising 919,879 males and 908,694 females).^[1]

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.
