The District of Gjilan (Albanian: Rajoni i Gjilanit) or the District of Gnjilane (Serbian: Гњилански округ/Gnjilanski okrug) is one of the seven districts (the higher-level administrative divisions) of Kosovo. Its seat is in the city of Gjilan.

The district largely corresponds to the geographic region of Kosovo Pomoravlje.

Anamorava, literally "side of river of Morava", is the hilly countryside in south eastern Kosovo south of Gjilan and on the Morava e Binces River. It stretches eastward to the Presheva (Presevo) valley in southern Serbia. The mountains in this region rise to an altitude of 1,000 to 1,200 meters, and culminate in the Karadak region bordering neighboring Macedonia north of Skopje.
