Nakakanbara (中蒲原郡; -gun) was a district located in Niigata Prefecture, Japan.

As of 2003, the district had an estimated population of 74,047 and a density of 238.54 persons per km². The total area was 310.42 km².

The district started to shrink after the town of Nuttary merged and Niigata continued to absorb the district. Three towns later gained city status during an 10 year period: Niitsu in 1951, Gosen in 1954 and Shirane (part of Niigata) in 1959. On March 21, 2005, the towns of Kameda, Kosudo and Yokogoshi merged into the city of Niigata. On January 1, 2006, the town of Muramatsu merged with the old city of Gosen to form the new city of Gosen. Nakakanbara District was dissolved as a result of this merger.
