Novoaidar Raion (Ukrainian: Новоайдарський район) is a raion (district) in the eastern Ukrainian province of Luhansk.

Starting Mid-April 2014 pro-Russian separatists captured several towns and raions in Luhansk Oblast;[1][2] Ukrainian forces reportedly removed the separatist from the last village in the Novoaidar Raion under separatist control, Krymsky, on 20 October 2014.[3]
