Kediri is a kabupaten located in East Java province, Indonesia.

Kediri regency is located in East Java province, Indonesia. Kelud mountain, one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia, is located in Kediri. The capital of the regency is near to the border of Kediri city, just about 200 m. However, several regency government establishments are also located within Kediri city, administratively a distinct political entity. It is because both the regency and the city share common cultural and historical roots. The administrative division occurred only after the War of Independence. The regency shares borders with Jombang to the north, Malang to the east, Blitar and Tulungagung to the south, and Nganjuk to the west, as well as with Kediri city which is wholly encircled by the Regency.

The regency also contains the famed "Kampung Inggris", or English Village. Kampung Inggris is a small area in the district of Pare where over a hundred businesses offering various English courses are clustered. Students come from all over Indonesia to take courses in the English Village, where it is common for people to speak with each other in English (rather than Indonesian or Javanese) for the sake of practice.
