Kavalerovsky District (Russian: Кавале́ровский райо́н) is an administrative[1] and municipal[2] district (raion) of Primorsky Krai, Russia; one of the twenty-two in the krai. It is located in the central western portion of the krai and borders with the territory of the town of Dalnegorsk in the north and northeast, Sea of Japan in the east, Olginsky District in the south, and Chuguyevsky District in the west. The area of the district is 4,215.2 square kilometers (1,627.5 sq mi).[3] Its administrative center is the urban locality (an urban-type settlement) of Kavalerovo. District's population: 25,846 (2010 Census preliminary results);[4] 29,488 (2002 Census);[5] 36,085 (1989 Census).[9] Population of Kavalerovo accounts for 59.6% of the district's population.[4]

The district was established on June 3, 1954[8] when it was split from Tetyukhinsky District.

Forests cover 80% of the district's territory. Fauna is represented by such rare species as the Siberian tiger, the East-Siberian Snow Leopard, deer, and the Amur wild cat.

Kavalerovsky District is one of the krai's main tin mining regions. There are also deposits of lead and zinc ores, brown coal, gold dust, and boric raw materials. A number of large enterprises are located in the district, such as the Khrustalnaya Mining Company which specializes in tin mining; JSC Apeks, which is a gold mining enterprise; and JSC Zenit, which specializes in brown coal mining. There are also forestry enterprises engaged in lumber cutting and sawtimber production. Agriculture is not well developed.

The mountainous landscape, rich flora and fauna including pristine pine forests, fresh air, and pure water make this district attractive for tourism and recreation activities.
