Laishevsky District (Russian: Лаи́шевский райо́н; Tatar: Лаеш районы) – is a territorial administrative unit and municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan within the Russian Federation. It is located in the western part of the republic at the confluence of the Volga and Kama rivers. The administrative center of the district is the city of Laishevo.[3]
Laishevsky district was formed on February 14, 1927. It was incorporated into the Pestrechinsky District in 1963. Two years later it was reestablished as an administrative unit with its center in the city of Laishevo.[4]
