The National District is a high school conference in the state of Virginia that includes schools from eastern Fairfax County and all of the public high schools in Arlington County.

The National District was founded in 1993 as part of an attempted realignment of the Northern Region. The charter members of the district were Edison, Mount Vernon, Justice, Wakefield, Washington-Liberty, West Potomac, and Yorktown High Schools.

Currently five of the eight member high schools compete at the 5A level and the remaining three at the largest 6A level in VHSL. With the 2013 post-season conference realignment, the 5A schools are a part of the post-season conference 13 and the 6A schools reside in conference 6, with Liberty District high schools. This process has been deemed very confusing due to the inter-twinning of regular season districts and post-season conferences. Generally speaking, the regular season conferences have been kept together for local purposes while the post-season conferences were put together for school population matters.
