Natural regions
Administrative regions
References

The Regions of Venezuela ({{lang-es|Regiones de Venezuela}}) are two groupings of Venezuela's states, capital district, and federal dependencies. Venezuela's Natural regions (Regiones naturales) are divided by natural geography, and Administrative regions (Regiones político-administrativas) are delineated for the purpose of regional administration.

Natural regions

Natural regions (Regiones naturales) are grouped based on a natural region, regardless of population or development, and formed from geo-physical criteria such as geological constitution, relief, climate, hydrography, vegetation, soils, and others.^[1] Venezuela is considered one of 18 Megadiverse countries by Conservation International, and the Natural regions do not always correspond exactly to the borders of the states.

Venezuela is divided into eight Natural regions:^[2]

Andean Natural Region
Caribbean Mountain-System Natural Region
Guayana Natural Region
Insular Natural Region
Lara-Falcón Hill-System Natural Region
Los Llanos Natural Region
Lake Maracaibo Lowlands Natural Region
Orinoco Delta Natural Region

Administrative regions

Administrative regions (Regiones político-administrativas) are grouped from Venezuela's neighboring states, federal dependencies, and the capital district for the purpose of local administration in the process of regional development. The Political-Administrative regions were created from a decree on 11 June 1969 and have been modified since their creation, and there are currently nine regions.

Administrative Region	Population¹	Area²	States
Andean Region	3,911,278	56,700 km²	Barinas, Mérida, Táchira, Trujillo and the Páez Municipality of Apure
Capital Region	4,687,002	9,879 km²	Miranda, Vargas, Capital District (Caracas)
Central Region	3,851,290	26,464 km²	Aragua, Carabobo, Cojedes
Central-Western Region	3,703,675	66,900 km²	Falcón, Lara, Portuguesa, Yaracuy
Eastern Region	3,165,217	84,030 km²	Anzoátegui, Monagas, Sucre
Guayana Region	1,776,545	458,344 km²	Bolívar, Amazonas, Delta Amacuro
Insular Region	439,900	1,492 km²	Nueva Esparta, Federal Dependencies
Llanos Region	1,181,650	141,486 km²	Apure (excluding the Páez Municipality), Guárico
Zulian Region	3,520,376	63,100 km²	Zulia

Notes:

Population figures are 2005 estimates
The area of the Páez municipality has, for the time being, been incorrectly counted here as belonging to the Llanos Region, rather than the Andean Region.
