The Kherson uezd[a] was a county (uezd) of the Kherson Governorate of the Russian Empire, and then of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the Ukrainian SSR until the administrative reform of 1923. The uezd bordered the Odessa uezd to the west, the Elisavetgrad uezd to the northwest, the Aleksandriya uezd to the north, the Verkhnedneprovsk and Yekaterinoslav uezds of the Yekaterinoslav Governorate to the east, the Melitopol and Dneprovsk uezds of the Taurida Governorate, and the Black Sea to the south. The district was eponymously named for its administrative center, Kherson.
