Sokh District (Uzbek: Сўх тумани, romanized: Soʻx tumani, Tajik: ноҳияи Сӯх, romanized: Nohiyai Sūx, Russian: Сохский район, romanized: Sokhsky rayon) is a district of Uzbekistan's Fergana Region. It consists of two exclaves of Uzbekistan, surrounded by Kyrgyzstan.

Its capital is the town of Ravon.[1] It has an area of 220 km2 (85 sq mi)[2] and it has 80,600 inhabitants as of 2022[update].[3] The district consists of seven urban-type settlements (Ravon, Qalʻa, Sarikanda, Soʻx, Tul, Hushyor, Tarovatli) and four rural communities (Sohibkor, Ravon, Soʻx, Hushyor).[1] Another village in the district is Limbur.
