The Tiraspol uezd[a] was a county (uezd) of the Kherson Governorate of the Russian Empire. The uezd bordered the Balta uezd of the Podolia Governorate to the north, the Ananev uezd to the east, the Odessa uezd to the south, and the Akkerman and Bendery uezd of the Bessarabia Governorate to the west. The administrative centre of the county was Tiraspol. The area of the Tiraspol uezd corresponded to most of Odesa Oblast and the breakaway territory of Transnistria, which is a part of Moldova.
