Pugachyovsky District (Russian: Пугачёвский райо́н) is an administrative and municipal district (raion), one of the thirty-eight in Saratov Oblast, Russia. It is located in the northeast of the oblast. The area of the district is 3,800 square kilometers (1,500 sq mi). Its administrative center is the town of Pugachyov (which is not administratively a part of the district). Population: 20,031 (2010 Census);23,574 (2002 Census);24,510 (1989 Census).

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Pugachyovsky District is one of the thirty-eight in the oblast. The town of Pugachyov serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as a town under oblast jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts (and which, in addition to Khvalynsk, also includes one rural locality).

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Pugachyovsky Municipal District, with Pugachyov Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction being incorporated within it as Pugachyov Urban Settlement.
