The Tiraspol uezd was a county (uezd) of the Kherson Governorate of the Russian Empire. The uezd bordered the Balta uezd of the Podolia Governorate to the north, the Ananev uezd to the east, the Odessa uezd to the south, and the Akkerman and Bendery uezd of the Bessarabia Governorate to the west. The administrative centre of the county was Tiraspol. Today, the historic territory of Tiraspol uezd is split between Odesa Oblast in Ukraine, and the breakaway territory of Transnistria, which is a part of Moldova.
