Tetyushsky District (Russian: Тетю́шский райо́н; Tatar: Тәтеш районы) is a territorial administrative unit and municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan within the Russian Federation. The district is located in the south-west of Tatarstan, on the right bank of the Kuybyshev Reservoir, and shares borders with the Ulyanovsk Oblast, Buinsky, Apastovsky and Kamsko-Ustyinsky District. The administrative center of the district is the city of Tetyushi.[3]

Settlements first began to appear in the region around V-VI BC. The city of Tetyushi was officially founded in 1578 when Kazan's Russian governors decided to construct a fortification on the right bank of the Volga to protect the region following the siege of Kazan and the fall of the Kazan Khanate. In 1781 Tetyushi was granted the status of a uezd.[4] The contemporary Tetyushsky district was formed in 1930.[5]

The focus of regional development is tourism and agriculture.[3] Additionally, there is a historical and architectural natural park "Dolgaya Polyana" with a former estate of the Count Molostvov – one of the few rural noble estates preserved in its original form on the territory of the former province of Kazan.[6]
