Provinces of Panama

Panama is divided into ten provinces () and four provincial-level indigenous regions (Spanish: comarcas indígenas, often shortened to comarcas). The most recently established province is Panamá Oeste Province on 1 January 2014, and the most recently established indigenous region is Naso Tjër Di Comarca on 4 December 2020.

There are also two indigenous regions within provinces that are considered equivalent to a corregimiento (municipality).
