Khovrino District (Russian: Ховрино) is a district in Northern Administrative Okrug of Moscow, Russia, located along the Likhoborka River. It borders with Khimki on the west and Mikhalkovo on the south.
The name Khovrino comes from a former village, known since the 15th century as an estate of a Surozh prince Stefan Vasil'evich Gabras nicknamed "Khovra" (hence, the name). In the late 19th century, Khovrino was owned by manufacturers Grachyovs. In 1960, Khovrino was engulfed by Moscow.
