The Tuapsinsky okrug (Russian: Туапси́нскій о́кругъ, romanized: Tuapsínsky ókrug) was a district (okrug) of the Black Sea Governorate of the Caucasus Viceroyalty of the Russian Empire. It bordered the Kuban Oblast to the north, the Novorossiysky okrug to the west, the Sochinsky okrug to the east, and the Black Sea to the south. The area of the Tuapsinsky okrug mostly corresponds to the Krasnodar Krai region of Russia. The district was eponymously named for its administrative centre, Tuapse.[1]
