Subulussalam (Jawoe: سبل السلام) is a city in the south of Aceh province of Indonesia. It is located inland on the island of Sumatra. On 2 January 2007, the provincial government of Aceh declared Subulussalam to be an independent city as a result of the administration being separated from that of Aceh Singkil Regency, of which it was formerly a part. It is located at 2°38′32″N 98°00′15″E. It covers a land area of 1,391 km², and it had a population of 67,446 at the 2010 Census and of 90,751 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 101,282 (comprising 51,396 males and 49,886 females). As a result, Subulussalam is the Indonesian city with the most sparse average population, with an overall population density in 2025 of only 72.81 people per km², and including wide swathes of rural areas; Simpang Kiri District and Penanggalan District are the only districts with urban densities of population.
