Kirovskyi District (Ukrainian: Кіровський район) is an urban district of the city of Dnipropetrovsk, in southern Ukraine.[4] It is located in the city's center and on the right-bank of the Dnieper River.

It was originally created in 1932 as the Tsentralnyi Nahornyi District, but on 2 December 1934 it was renamed as the Kirovskyi District, a name which it has kept to this day. In 1936 the eastern part of district became the Zhovtnevyi District. In 1973 more territories of the Kirovskyi District were passed to the newly formed Babushkinskyi District.
