Jerichower Land (German pronunciation: [ˈjeːʁɪçoːɐ ˈlant]) is a district (Kreis) in the north-east of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
Its neighbouring administrative units are (clockwise from the south): the districts of Anhalt-Bitterfeld, Salzlandkreis, the city of Magdeburg, the districts of Börde, Stendal, Havelland and Potsdam-Mittelmark in Brandenburg.
In 1994, the two districts of Burg and Genthin were merged, and re-adopted the historical name of Jerichow.
The name of the district derives from the city of Jerichow, the name of which is related to that of an early Slavic tribal grouping.
[2] Main water bodies in the district are the rivers Elbe, Ehle, Ihle and Nuthe as well as the Elbe-Havel canal.
