Dedovichsky District (Russian: Де́довичский райо́н) is an administrative and municipal district (raion), one of the twenty-four in Pskov Oblast, Russia. It is located in the east of the oblast and borders with Dnovsky District in the north, Volotovsky District of Novgorod Oblast in the northeast, Poddorsky District, also of Novgorod Oblast, in the east, Bezhanitsky District in the south, Novorzhevsky District in the southwest, and with Porkhovsky District in the west. The area of the district is 2,188 square kilometers (845 sq mi). Its administrative center is the urban locality (a work settlement) of Dedovichi.

Almost the whole area of the district lies in the basin of the Shelon River and thus of the Neva River and of the Baltic Sea. The Shelon crosses the district, entering it from the northeast, flowing southwest, and then making a turn to the northwest. The principal tributary of the Shelon within the district is the Sudoma (left). Minor areas in the southwest of the district are in the basin of the Sorot River, a tributary of the Velikaya River, and thus in the basin of the Narva River. There are many lakes in the west of the district, the biggest of which are Lakes Ivankovskoye, Gorodnovskoye, Uzskoye, Lokno, Glubokoye, Naverezhskoye (the source of the Sudoma), and Sevo.
