Latvia is divided into five planning regions (Latvian: Latvijas plānošanas reģioni): Kurzeme, Latgale, Riga, Vidzeme, and Zemgale. The boundaries of these regions correspond to the borders of Latvia's municipalities. However, the planning regions are not considered administrative territorial divisions, as they are not mentioned in the law governing Latvia's administrative territorial structure.
Following the 2021 reform, certain areas of the Riga Region were incorporated into the Kurzeme and Vidzeme regions. Notably, the statistical regions of Latvia align with the planning regions.
