The Gunston District is a high school sports district in Northern Virginia that competes in the Virginia High School League. The schools are mostly from the Alexandria area.

What used to be the old Alexandria District in 1965 became the Gunston District two years later in 1967 with members Edison, Fort Hunt, Groveton, Mount Vernon, Robert E. Lee and West Springfield. In 1985 Fort Hunt and Groveton High Schools consolidated into West Potomac High School. In 1994, the Gunston District was abandoned as part of a realignment within the Northern Region, until 2017 when the district was revived when the VHSL realigned the districts and regions all together. As part of the VHSL's 4 year realignment, the National and Gunston Districts were consolidated and kept the National District name thus ending the 2nd incarnation of the Gunston District.
