Izium Raion (Ukrainian: Ізюмський район, romanizedIziumskyi raion) is a raion (district) in Kharkiv Oblast of Ukraine. Its administrative center is the city of Izium. Population: 172,120 (2022 estimate).[2]

On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast was reduced to seven, and the area of Izium Raion was significantly expanded. Three abolished raions – Balakliia, Barvinkove, and Borova Raions – and the city of Izium, which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Izium Raion.[3][4]

The pre-reform January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 16,416 (2020 est.).[5]
