Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion (Ukrainian: Кам'янець-Подільський район, Kam'ianets'-Podil's'kyi raion) is one of the 20 administrative raions (a district) of the Khmelnytskyi Oblast in western Ukraine. Its administrative center is located in the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi, even though the city itself is not under the raion's jurisdiction. Its population was 75,506 in the 2001 Ukrainian Census and 67,900 on September 9, 2012[update].
The Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion is located in the southernmost part of the Khmelnytskyi Oblast, corresponding to the modern-day boundaries of Podolia historical region. To its west and south, the raion borders upon the Ternopil and Chernivtsi Oblasts, respectfully.
It is the largest raion of the oblast, with an area of 1,537 square kilometres (593 sq mi) constituting 7.5 percent of the oblast's area. A total of seven rivers flow through the raion, including the Dniester and Smotrych Rivers.
Before the modern-day Kaimanets-Podilskyi Raion existed, a large portion of its current boundaries was under the control of other raions, one of which was the Dovzhok Raion (Ukrainian: Довжоцький район), established on March 7, 1923 as part of an administrative reorganization of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The Dovzhok Raion was one of 16 districts of the Kamianets Okruha (at the time okruhas were the first-level of administrative division of the Ukrainian SSR).
