Baltasinsky District (Russian: Балтаси́нский райо́н; Tatar: Балтач районы) is a territorial administrative unit and municipality of the Republic of Tatarstan within the Russian Federation. The district is located in the north of the republic and occupies an area of 1,094.5 square kilometers (422.6 sq mi). According to the 2010 census, the municipality had a population of 33,879 people. Its administrative center — an urban-type settlement of Baltasi — accounts for 22.8% of the district's total population.[4]

The current district was first established in 1930 as an administrative entity of the Tatar ASSR. In 1963 the district's territory was annexed to the Arsky district but was reestablished two years later with its administrative center in the settlement of Baltasi.[4]

In 2019, an industrial park “Baltach” was built in the district for companies engaged in production of halal goods.[5]
