Saltivskyi District (Ukrainian: Салтівський район) is an urban district of the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, named after Saltivka residential area.

The district was created in 1937 when Petynsko-Zhuravlivskyi District was split into Kahanovychskyi and Stalinskyi districts. In 1961 Stalinskyi District was renamed to Moskovskyi. On 11 May 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was renamed to Saltivskyi due to the previous name's association with Moscow. Saltivka had been one of the worst affected areas of the city during the Battle of Kharkiv.
