Lyman Raion (Ukrainian: Лиманський район, translit.: Lymans'kyi raion; Russian: Лиманский район, translit.: Limanskiy raion) was a raion (district) within Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. Its administrative center was Lyman, which was separately incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the district. Its area was 1,018 km2 (393 sq mi) and its population was approximately 21,881 (2013 est.)[1].

In 2016, Lyman Raion was abolished and merged into Lyman municipality ( [uk], formerly Krasnyi Lyman United Territorial Community).[2][3][4]

On 19 May 2016, Verkhovna Rada adopted a decision to rename Krasnyi Lyman Raion to Lyman Raion according to the law prohibiting names of Communist origin.[5] Krasnyi Lyman was previously renamed to Lyman according to the same law.
