Blything Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1934. It was created out of the earlier Blything rural sanitary district.[1] It was named after the historic hundred of Blything, whose boundaries it closely matched.

Two urban districts were subsequently created out of parishes within Blything: Leiston cum Sizewell UD in 1895 and Halesworth in 1900.

In 1934, under a County Review Order, Blything Rural District was abolished. The largest part of its territory passed to the new but similarly named Blyth Rural District; apart from small adjustments the rest went to Lothingland and RDs.
