Glinkovsky District (Russian: Гли́нковский райо́н) is an administrative[1] and municipal[3] district (raion), one of the twenty-five in Smolensk Oblast, Russia. It lies in the center of the oblast and borders with Dorogobuzhsky District in the northeast, Yelninsky District in the southeast, Pochinkovsky District in the southwest, and with Kardymovsky District in the west. The area of the district is 1,225.74 square kilometers (473.26 sq mi).[1] Its administrative center is the rural locality (a selo) of Glinka.[1] Population: 4,948 (2010 Census);[2] 6,149 (2002 Census);[5] 7,866 (1989 Soviet census).[6]

The population of Glinka accounts for 39.3% of the district's total population.[2] The settlement which became Glinka dates from 1898.[7] On 1 June 1907 the railway station was renamed Glinka in honour of the composer Mikhail Glinka[8] (died February 1857).
