Henichesk Raion (Ukrainian: Генічеський район) is one of the five administrative raions (districts) of Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine. Its administrative centre is located in the city of Henichesk. Population: 118,059 (2022 estimate).[2]

On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Kherson Oblast was reduced from 18 to five, and the area of Henichesk Raion was significantly expanded. Three abolished raions, Ivanivka, Nyzhni Sirohozy, and Novotroitske Raions, were merged into Henichesk Raion.[3][4] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 58,331 (2020 est.).[5]

In 2008, the raion had a 10% Crimean Tatar minority, with the Tatar population reaching 50% in two villages.[6] This minority is a result of a 1967 Soviet decree that restored Tatar rights lost during the 1944 deportation of the Crimean Tatars.[6][7] Because de jure they were not allowed to return to their Crimea homeland, some Tatars settled in nearby places, including Henichesk Raion.[6] During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the raion was captured and occupied by Russia.
