Dzhankoy Raion (Ukrainian: Джанкойський район, Russian: Джанкойский район, Crimean Tatar: Canköy rayonı) is one of the 25 regions of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, located in southern Ukraine. It is located in the northern part of the Crimean steppe near the Syvash Bay. The city of Dzhankoy is the raion's centre, but it is excluded from the region and forms a separate municipality. The North-Crimean canal (the main waterway of northern Crimea supplying the republic with water from the Dnieper river) runds through the raion.
