Bandar Lampung (/ˈbɑːndɑː ˈlæmpʌŋ/ BUN-dar-LUM-pung; Indonesian: Kota Bandar Lampung; Lampung: Kutak Bandarlampung; and formerly Dutch: Oosthaven, lit. 'Eastern Harbor') is the capital and largest city of the Indonesian province of Lampung. Located on the southern tip of Sumatra, Bandar Lampung was originally called Tanjungkarang–Telukbetung, since it was a unification of two major settlements in Lampung, before being renamed in 1983.
The city proper, together with South Lampung Regency (which borders the city on its northern and eastern sides) and Pesawaran Regency (which borders it on its western side), are major transmigration recipients. The city's area is about 183.77 km. It had a census population of 881,801 in 2010 and 1,166,066 in 2020; the official estimate as of mid-2024 was 1,077,664 (comprising 543,865 males and 533,799 females).
