The Gupis-Yasin District (Urdu: ضلع گوپیس یاسین) is the westernmost district of the 14 districts of Pakistan-administered territory of Gilgit-Baltistan. The Gupis-Yasin District was created in 2019^[1] from the Gupis Tehsil and the Yasin Tehsil, which were the two western tehsils of the former, larger Ghizer District.
