Kiliia Raion (Ukrainian: Кілійський район, romanized: Kiliiskyi raion) was a raion (district) in Odessa Oblast of Ukraine. It was part of the historical region of Bessarabia. Its administrative center was the city of Kiliia. The small sector of the Danube Delta that lies in Ukraine lied partially in this raion. The raion was abolished and its territory was merged into Izmail Raion on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odessa Oblast to seven.

The station of the Odesa-Ismail-Dzinilor railway line was located in the north-west of the Kiliia raion. The area was served by water transport through the Danube port — Ust-Dunaisk and the checkpoints Kiliia and Vylkove. There were 2 sewerage networks in the raion, there was a water supply system in 6 settlements.

In the Danube Delta in the extreme southwest of the raion, the city of Vylkovo was located, known as Ukrainian Venice, thanks to numerous Jericam channels, gun along the streets[5]. In the south, there is one of the oldest cities of Ukraine — Kiliia. In the Black Sea, there is a single sea island in Ukraine — snake, near the coast of which rare objects were found, the age of which reaches an era of antiquity. Near the village of Liski was created by the botanical reserve of the local scales.
