The Argayash National Okrug (Russian: Аргая́шский национа́льный о́круг Argajašskij nacional'nyj okrug; Bashkir: Арғаяш милли округы Arğayaş milli okrugı; Bashkir Uniform Turkic Alphabet: Arƣajaş milli okrugь) was a national okrug for the Bashkirs of the Chelyabinsk Oblast of the RSFSR in the Soviet Union. It existed from January to November 1934.

On 15 November 1917, Trans-Ural Bashkiria was added to the nascent Bashkurdistan by decision of the Bashkir Central Soviet as Argayash Canton. Although an exclave surrounded by the RSFSR proper, this canton existed as an administrative and territorial unit of the Bashkir Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic until 1930. In that year, the cantonal system of administration was eliminated and the former Argayash Canton was organized as two raions, Argayash and Kunashak, while remaining a part of the Bashkir ASSR.
