Plomesgate Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1934. It was created out of the earlier Plomesgate rural sanitary district.[1] It was named after the historic hundred of Plomesgate (although the rural district covered a significantly larger area that included most, but not all, of the historic hundred).

In 1900 a new was created out of Saxmundham parish.[2]

In 1934, under a County Review Order, Plomesgate Rural District was abolished and its parishes transferred to the new Blyth and Deben RDs. The detached parish of Kenton became part of Hartismere RD, and part of parish was given to the Borough of Aldeburgh.
