Orsett Rural District was a rural district in Essex, England, from 1894 to 1936. It covered Orsett and surrounding parishes near the Thames Estuary in the south of the county. It was abolished in 1936, when most of the area became part of the new Thurrock Urban District, which in turn became the borough of Thurrock in 1974.
