Pangkajene Islands Regency (more accurately Pangkajene and Islands Regency - Kabupaten Pangkajene Dan Kepulauan) is a regency of South Sulawesi Province of Indonesia.

The principal town lies at Pangkajene, but there are a series of further towns like Lejang, Labakkang, Bontobonto and Segeri proceeding northwards from Pangkajene along the Trans-Sulawesi Highway.
