Central Kalimantan (Indonesian: Kalimantan Tengah often abbreviated to Kalteng) is a province of Indonesia, one of four in Kalimantan - the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo. Its provincial capital is Palangkaraya.
The province has a population of 1.80 million (2000 census). The population grew 2.7% annually between 1990 and 2000, one of the highest provincial growth rates in Indonesia during that time. Far more than other province in the region, Central Kalimantan is dominated by the Dayaks, the indigenous inhabitants of Borneo. The province was created in the late 1950s by subdividing South Kalimantan, in part to give the Dayak population greater autonomy from the Muslim population in the rest of that province.
Central Kalimantan is divided into 13 regencies:
- South Barito Regency
- East Barito Regency
- North Barito Regency
- Gunung Mas Regency
- Kapuas Regency
- Katingan Regency
- West Kotawaringin Regency
- East Kotawaringin Regency
- Lamandau Regency
- Murung Raya Regency
- Pulang Pisau Regency
- Sukamara Regency
- Seruyan Regency
