Sviatoshyn Raion (Ukrainian: Святошинський район, Sviatoshynskyi Raion) is a raion in the city of Kiev located at the western part of city. Raion was created in 2001 after renaming the former Leningrad Raion. It borders four other raions in Kiev such as Podil Raion, Obolon Raion, Solomianka Raion, Shevchenko Raion as well as the Kiev-Sviatoshyn Raion and city of Irpin that administratively are part of Kiev Oblast. Its name raion takes from one of its historical neighborhoods.
The raion includes number of neighborhoods Svyatoshyn, Borshchahivka, Akademmistechko, Aviamistechko, Bilychi, Bratska Borshchahivka and many others.
The governing bodies of the adjacent Kyiv-Svyatoshyn Raion of the Kiev Oblast are situated in the Sviatoshyn Raion of Kiev as the former oblast raion is purely suburban and lacks a distinctive center settlement.
