The Tabar Group is an island group in Papua New Guinea, located 40 km (25 mi) north of New Ireland. It is a part of the Bismarck Archipelago. The Tabar group consists of a short chain of three main islands - Tabar Island (a.k.a. Big Tabar) in the south, Tatau Island in the center, and Simberi Island in the north - as well as a number of smaller offshore islets. The highest peak is Mount Beirari at 622 m (2,041 ft).

The population of the island group was 3,920 at the 2000 Census.[1] The Tabar Group is administered by the Sentral Niu Ailan Rural Local Level Government (LLG), New Ireland Province.

The Tabar Group is the area of origin of Malagan art.[2] The local language is Mandara (also known as Tabar), ISO 639-3 language code "tbf", an Austronesian language. Three dialects have been identified, Simberi, Tatau and Tabar.[3][4]
