Odesa Raion (Ukrainian: Одеський район) or Odessa Raion (Russian: Одесский район) is a raion (district) of Odesa Oblast, Ukraine. It was created on 17 July 2020 as part of the reform of administrative divisions of Ukraine.

The center of the raion is the city of Odesa. Population: 1,378,490 (2022 estimate).

At the time of establishment, the raion consisted of 22 hromadas:

Odessa district is located in the center of Odesa Oblast. The district borders on Mykolaiv Oblast of Ukraine and on Moldova. The district has access to the Black Sea. The territory of the district is part of the Black Sea lowland. The surface is a plain, dissected by ravines and gullies.

The climate of the district is temperate continental with dry periods, but there is a softening of the climate due to the proximity to the Black Sea. According to the Köppen-Geiger climate classification, the climate of the Odesa Raion is humid continental with hot summers (Dfa).

Within the district there are the Dniester, Khadzhibey and Tyligul estuaries.

The area grows vegetables, grapes, and has developed livestock and poultry farming.

The largest city in the region, Odesa, is a sea trading port, cultural, tourist, trade, and transport center of Ukraine. Railway and road routes have been laid to Odessa from Kyiv, Lviv, and Dnipro. Highways E95 and E58 pass through the region.
