Sijunjung, formerly known as Sawahlunto Sijunjung, is a regency (kabupaten) in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The capital of the regency is Muaro Sijunjung. The regency was separated from the former regency Sawahlunto, which nowadays is a municipality of its own (see Sawahlunto).

Most of the people work in trade or as government employees, and the rest are farmers. There are few university graduates, because most people are not interested in continuing their studies for reasons of economic and environment culture. Many of the natural resources of this regency are not explored and utilized because of the mountainous geography.
