Đông Hưng District was a rural district (huyện) in Thái Bình Province, in the Red River Delta region of Vietnam. Established in 1969, it served as an important industrial and agricultural hub within the province. The district was recognized as a new rural district in 2019. As of July 1, 2025, Đông Hưng District was dissolved as part of administrative reforms implementing a two-tier local government system, with its territories integrated into the newly formed Hưng Yên Province following the merger of the former Thái Bình and Hưng Yên provinces.
