Nika District (Pashto: نکه ولسوالۍ, Persian: ولسوالی نکه), also known as Naka, is one of the most remote districts in Paktika Province, Afghanistan.

It lies in a bowl-shaped valley and is only accessible by a few rocky river beds and a single dirt road, the latter of which is not passable in winter.

The valley's economy is rudimentary and relies on wood cutting and subsistence farming.
