North Musi Rawas Regency
North Musi Rawas Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Musi Rawas Utara abbreviation Muratara) is a regency of South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. It takes its name from the two main river which drain that area, Musi River and Rawas River. This regency was created on 10 June 2013 by splitting off the seven northernmost districts of Musi Rawas Regency.

It covers an area of 6,008.66 km and had a population of 169,432 at the 2010 Census and 188,861 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 199,668 (comprising 101,481 males and 98,187 females). The administrative centre is the town of Rupit.
