Saldus district (Latvian: Saldus rajons) was an administrative division of Latvia, located in Courland region, in the country's west.

The district, previously a part of Kuldīga county, was created during the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1949. The district was divided up during the administrative-territorial reform in 2009 into Brocēni Municipality and Saldus Municipality. In 2021 they were merged again into a new Saldus Municipality.
