The Ventspils District (Latvian: Ventspils rajons), was an administrative division of Latvia, located in the Courland region, in the country's west.[2]
The district consisted of eleven parishes and one rural territory.[2] The city of Ventspils was district-free, and not part of the population estimate.[1][3] All districts were eliminated during the administrative-territorial reform in 2009.
