Mappi Regency in 2010 comprised ten districts (distrik). However, by 2015 the number of districts had been increased to fifteen; the five additional districts that had been created since 2010 were Bamgi, Passue Bawah, Syahcame, Ti Zain and Yakomi.

The districts are listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and that of 2020,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 162 rural kampung and 2 urban kelurahan - the latter being the towns of Kepi in Obaa District, and Bade in Edera District), and its post code.
