Zalishchyky Raion (Ukrainian: Заліщицький район) was a raion of the Ternopil Oblast. The administrative centre and largest town was Zalishchyky. The rest of the district's population lived in one of 35 village councils or 53 rural settlements. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three. The area of Zalishchyky Raion was merged into Chortkiv Raion.[1][2] The last estimate of the raion population was 44,966 (2020 est.)[3]
