Yasynuvata Raion (Ukrainian: Ясинуватський район, romanized: Yasynuvats'kyi raion) was one of the administrative raions (a district) of Donetsk Oblast, located in southeastern Ukraine. The administrative center of the district was the city of Yasynuvata, which was incorporated separately as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the districts jurisdiction.

Beginning in 2014, with the onset of the War in Donbas, the raion was split: The western part was under control of the central Ukrainian government, whereas its eastern part was under control of the Donetsk People's Republic.

The raion was abolished by the Ukrainian government on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Donetsk Oblast to eight, of which only five were controlled by the government. The area of Yasynuvata Raion was partitioned with government-controlled areas were merged into Kramatorsk Raion and Pokrovsk Raion, and separatist-controlled areas being merged into Donetsk Raion.[3][4] The last estimate of the raion population, reported by the Ukrainian government, was 25,942 (2020 est.).[5]
