Biliaivka Raion (Ukrainian: Біляївський район) was a raion (district) in Odesa Oblast of Ukraine. Its administrative center was the city of Biliaivka, which had a status of the city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion. The raion was abolished and its territory was merged into Odesa Raion on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven.
