Kakhovka Raion (Ukrainian: Каховський район) is one of the administrative raions (a district) of Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine. Its administrative center is located in the city of Nova Kakhovka. Population: 216,458 (2022 estimate).[2]

On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Kherson Oblast was reduced to five, and the area of Kakhovka Raion was significantly expanded. Four abolished raions, Chaplynka, Hornostaivka, Velyka Lepetykha, and Verkhnii Rohachyk Raions, as well as Nova Kakhovka Municipality and the city of Kakhovka which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Kakhovka Raion. Kakhovka served as the raion center before 2020, but after the reform, the center was moved to Nova Kakhovka.[3][4] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 34,521 (2020 est.).[5]

Also the reform made changes to local subdivisions and territorial councils (rada) were replaced with territorial communities (hromada) which also were increased combining several adjacent territorial councils. In this way, instead of one settlement council and 18 village councils, Kakhovka Raion was re-subdivided into three city communities, six settlement communities and six village communities.
