The South Eastern Region (Maltese: Reġjun Xlokk) is a former region of Malta. The region included the southeastern part of the main island of Malta, including the capital Valletta. The region bordered the Central and Southern Regions.

It was created by the Act No. XVI of 2009 out of part of Malta Xlokk.[1] Act No. XIV of 2019 abolished the region, and its territory was divided between the newly formed Port Region and the Southern Region.
