Olginsky District (Russian: О́льгинский 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 southeastern portion of the krai and borders with Kavalerovsky District in the north, the Sea of Japan in the east, southeast, and south, Lazovsky District in the southwest, and with Chuguyevsky District in the west. The area of the district is 6,415.9 square kilometers (2,477.2 sq mi).[3] Its administrative center is the urban locality (an urban-type settlement) of Olga. District's population: 10,700 (2010 Census preliminary results);[4] 12,044 (2002 Census);[5] 16,006 (1989 Census).[9] Population of Olga accounts for 37.6% of the district's population.[4]

Slopes of south Sikhote-Alin and narrow coastline of the Sea of Japan are the most prominent features of the district territory's landscape. The largest bay is Olga Bay. The highest point is Perevalnaya Mount, at 1,406 meters (4,613 ft).

The district was established in 1926[8] and originally encompassed the territories of modern Lazovsky and Kavalerovsky Districts and the territory presently subordinated to the town of Dalnegorsk.
