Yuryevetsky District (Russian: Ю́рьевецкий райо́н, Yuryevetsky rayon) is an administrative and municipal district (rayon), one of twenty-one in Ivanovo Oblast, Russia. It is located in the northeast of the oblast. The administrative center is the town of Yuryevets.

The district is situated in the northeast of Ivanovo Oblast and has an area of 860 square kilometers (330 sq mi).

Yuryevetsky District borders Kineshemsky District to the west and northwest, Lukhsky District to the southwest, and Puchezhsky District to the south, all within Ivanovo Oblast. The Gorky Reservoir forms the eastern border with Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and the northern border with Kostroma Oblast.

The area of Yuryevets has been known since pre-Petrine times, and a Yuryevetsky Uyezd (district) was formally established. In 1708, the uyezd was abolished, and the town of Yuryevets was assigned to Kazan Governorate. In 1713, Yuryevets became part of Nizhny Novgorod Governorate. In 1727, the uyezd was restored as part of the Nizhny Novgorod Province of Nizhny Novgorod Governorate.

In 1778, the uyezd was reassigned to Kostroma Viceroyalty. In 1796, the Kostroma Viceroyalty was transformed into Kostroma Governorate, and the territory of the abolished Lukhsky Uyezd was incorporated into Yuryevetsky Uyezd.

In 1918, the uyezd was transferred to the newly formed Ivanovo-Voznesensk Governorate.

In 1924, Rodnikovsky District was separated from the uyezd.
