Chistopolsky District (Russian: Чистопольский райо́н; Tatar: Чистай районы) is a territorial administrative unit and municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan within the Russian Federation. The district is located in the center of Tatarstan on the left bank of the Kama River. The administrative center of the district is Chistopol. At the beginning of 2020, the district had a population of 75,675.[4][5]

The first mention of settlements in the region dates back to the 10th century. The ancient city of Cükätaw is also mentioned as having been located there. The area is also known for hosting the Union of Soviet Writers after their evacuation during the Great Patriotic War. Such famous Soviet authors as Boris Pasternak, Leonid Leonov, Alexander Fadeev lived in Chistopol for several years.[6][7]

The Chistopolsky district is primarily an agricultural district. In 2017, the administrative center received its designation as one of the "Territories of advanced social and economic development" or TASED in the republic.[8]
