Krasnoperekopsk Raion (Ukrainian: Красноперекопський район, Russian: Красноперекопский район, Crimean Tatar: Krasnoperekopsk rayonı) is one of the 25 districts of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine, but currently occupied and incorporated by Russia as the Republic of Crimea. It is situated in the northern part of the republic. The administrative center of the raion is the town of Krasnoperekopsk. The latter is not a part of the raion (district) and incorporated separately as a town of regional significance. Population (without Krasnoperekopsk): 24,738 (2014 Census).[1]

On 12 May 2016, Ukrainian authorities[nb 1] renamed the district to Perekop Raion (Ukrainian: Перекопський район) as part of its decommunization efforts. The renaming is intended to take practical effect upon the Ukrainian recapture of Crimea.[5]
