Storozhynets Raion (Ukrainian: Сторожинецький район, Romanian: Raionul Storojineț) was a raion (administrative district) in Chernivtsi Oblast, (province), in the historical region of Bukovina, in western part of Ukraine. The administrative center of the raion was the city of Storozhynets. It bordered with Romania from south, Vyzhnytsia Raion from west, Kitsman Raion from north, municipality of Chernivtsi and Hlyboka Raion from east. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Storozhynets Raion was merged into Chernivtsi Raion.[1][2] The last estimate of the raion population was 100,918 (2020 est.)[3]

At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of six hromadas:[4]

According to the 2001 Ukrainian Census, the raion's population was 95,295.[5] The ethnic composition of the district's population as reported by the census: 56,786 Ukrainians (59.59%), 35,095 Romanians (36.83%), 1,367 Russians (1.43%), 307 Moldovans (0.32%), and 1,740 others (1.83%).[6][7] Storozhynets Raion, within its boundaries at that time, had 95,295 inhabitants in 2001, including 61.42% Ukrainian-speakers, 35.64% Romanian-speakers, and 1.81% Russian-speakers.[8]

The Romanian population was concentrated in the south of the raion, especially around the urban-type settlement of Krasnoilsk (Romanian: Crasna).[9] The raion had 1 city (Storozhynets), 1 urban-type settlement (Krasnoilsk), which on 26 January 2024 became a rural settlement,[10] 24 communes (selsoviets), and 13 villages attached to communes.
