Kwabre District is a former district that was located in Ashanti Region of Ghana. Originally created as an ordinary district assembly in 1988, which it was created from the former Kwabre-Sekyere District Council; until the western part of the district was split off to become the southern portion of Afigya-Kwabre District on 1 November 2007 (effectively 29 February 2008); while the remaining portion has since then been officially renamed as Kwabre East District, which it was elevated to municipal district assembly status to become Kwabre East Municipal District on 1 November 2017 (effectively 15 March 2018). The district assembly was located in the northern part of Ashanti Region and had Mamponteng as its capital town.
