Mbeya Region is one of Tanzania's 31 administrative regions. It is located in the country's southwest. The regional capital is the city of Mbeya. According to the 2012 national census, the region had a population of 2,707,410, which was lower than the pre-census projection of 2,822,396.[2]{{rp|page 2}} For 2002-2012, the region's 2.7 percent average annual population growth rate was tied for the tenth highest in the country.[2]{{rp|page 4}} It was also tied for the eighteenth most densely populated region with 45 people per square kilometre.[2]{{rp|page 6}}

In 2016, the town of Tunduma and the districts of Ileje, Mbozi, Momba and Songwe (created from the western part of Chunya District[3]) were split from Mbeya Region to create Songwe Region.[4][5] Mbeya Region is now bordered to the northwest by Tabora Region, to the northeast by Singida Region, to the east by Iringa Region, to the south by Songwe Region and Malawi, and to the west by Songwe Region.[6] Prior to the creation of Songwe Region, Mbeya Region covered an area of {{convert|62420|km2|mi2}}.[7] It now covers an area of {{convert|35954|km2|mi2}}.[1]

The commissioner for Mbeya Region is Amos Gabriel Makalla.[8]

In 2012, the region was administratively divided into eight districts:
