Dogiyai Regency is one of the regencies (kabupaten) in the Indonesian province of Central Papua. The Regency was created on 4 January 2008 from what had previously been the southern districts of Nabire Regency. It covers an area of 7,052.92 km2 (revised from 4,237.4 km2), and had a population of 84,230 at the 2010 CensusBiro Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2011. and 116,206 at the 2020 Census;Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2021. the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 125,178, comprising 64,996 males and 60,182 females.Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 27 February 2026, Kabupaten Dogiyai Dalam Angka 2026 (Katalog-BPS 1102001.9406) The regency seat is the town of Kigamani (in Dogiyai District).
History During the 2020s, Dogiyai was involved in a border dispute with neighboring Mimika and Deiyai regencies, resulting in the Kapiraya conflict.
Administrative districts and villages When it was formed in January 2008, the new Dogiyai Regency comprised three districts (distrik) from within the southern part of the existing Nabire Regency, but these were subsequently reconstructed into the present ten districts. The former Sukikai District was divided between new Sukikai Selatan (in the south) and Piyaiye (in the north) Districts. The Mapia District was also divided, with the southern half split between new Mapia Barat and Mapia Tengah Districts, leaving a residual Mapia District in the north. The Dogiyai (in the west), Kamu Selatan, Kamu Timur and Kamu Utara Districts were formed from most parts of the Kamu District.
