Novoazovsk Raion (Ukrainian: Новоазовський район, romanized: Novoazovs'kyi raion; Russian: Новоазовский район, romanized: Novoazovskiy raion) was one of the administrative raions (a district) of Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Donetsk Oblast to eight. However, since 2014 much of the raion was not under control of Ukrainian government and has been part of the Donetsk People's Republic which continues using it as an administrative unit. Its administrative center was located in the city of Novoazovsk, and its southern portion borders the Sea of Azov. The last estimate of the raion population, reported by the Ukrainian government, was 26,952 (2020 est.).
