In geography, regions are areas broadly divided by physical characteristics (physical geography), human impact characteristics (human geography), and the interaction of humanity and the environment (environmental geography). Geographic regions and sub-regions are mostly described by their imprecisely defined, and sometimes transitory boundaries, except in human geography, where jurisdiction areas such as national borders are clearly defined in law.

Region bezeichnet in der Geographie ein Gebiet, das geographisch, politisch, ökonomisch und/oder administrativ eine Einheit bildet.
