Nusay District (Persian: شهرستان نسَی) is one of the 28 districts in Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan. It was created in 2005 from part of Darwaz District. It is home to approximately 11,000 residents. This district borders with the Shekay, Kuf Ab, and Maimay districts, along with districts in Darvoz Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province, Tajikistan.
