Donetsk Raion (Ukrainian: Донецький район, romanized: Donetskyi raion; Russian: Донецкий район) is a prospective raion (district) of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.

It was formally created in July 2020 as part of the reform of administrative divisions of Ukraine.

[2] Most of the area of the raion is occupied by Russia,[5] which continues to use the old, pre-2020 administrative divisions of Ukraine.

Much of the raion was occupied by Russian-controlled militias during the Donbas war until the village of Kruta Balka was the only unoccupied locality.

[citation needed] Raion consists of 6 hromadas:[4]
