Ketton was a rural district in Rutland, England from 1894 to 1974, covering the east of the county.

[1] The rural district was formed by the Local Government Act 1894 from the part of the Stamford rural sanitary district in Rutland.

At the same time, the remainder of Stamford RSD, which lay in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and the Soke of Peterborough became Uffington Rural District, Easton on the Hill Rural District and Barnack Rural District respectively.

[3] In 1960 the Local Government Commission for England proposed the abolition of the county of Rutland.

The bulk of the county was to become part of Leicestershire, with Ketton RD transferred to a greatly enlarged Cambridgeshire.
