The Regency is bordered to the north by the Java Sea, east by Lamongan Regency, south by Bojonegoro Regency, and west by Blora Regency and Rembang Regency (both in Central Java Province). The regency is located in a strategic area, on the border of East Java with Central Java, passed by the main highway (Jalan Nasional Daendels) along the north coast of Java (here called Jalur Pantai Utara or Jalur Pantura). In ancient times, Tuban was the main port of Majapahit and was a center of Islamic spreading by Walisongo.
