Birsky District (Russian: Би́рский райо́н; Bashkir: Бөрө районы) is an administrative and municipal district (raion), one of the fifty-four in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia. It is located in the north of the republic and borders with Burayevsky District in the north, Mishkinsky District in the northeast and east, Blagoveshchensky District in the southeast, Kushnarenkovsky District in the south, and with Dyurtyulinsky District in the west. The area of the district is 1,786.49 square kilometers (689.77 sq mi). Its administrative center is the town of Birsk (which is not administratively a part of the district). As of the 2010 Census, the total population of the district was 17,924.
The district was established in 1930.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Birsky District is one of the fifty-four in the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is divided into fourteen selsoviets, comprising seventy-five rural localities. The town of Birsk serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as a town of republic significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts (and which, in addition to Birsk, also includes two rural localities).
