Synelnykove Raion (Ukrainian: Синельниківський район) is a raion (district) of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, southeastern-central Ukraine. Its administrative centre is located at Synelnykove. Its population is 198,974 (2022 estimate).
On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast was reduced to seven, and the area of Synelnykove Raion was significantly expanded. Four abolished raions, Mezhova, Petropavlivka, Pokrovske, and Vasylkivka Raions, as well as the cities of Pershotravensk (later renamed to Shakhtarske) and Synelnykove, which were previously incorporated as cities of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Synelnykove Raion. The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 36,845 (2020 est.).
Since 1 August 2025, clashes during the Russian invasion of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast of Ukraine are taking place in the eastern part of the raion, with about 200 square kilometers under occupation as of November 2025. This includes territories in the hromadas of Novopavlivka, Pokrovske and Velykomykhailivka.
