Udomelsky District (Russian: Удо́мельский райо́н) is an administrative and municipal district (raion), one of the thirty-six in Tver Oblast, Russia. It is located in the north of the oblast and borders with Moshenskoy District of Novgorod Oblast in the north, Lesnoy District in the northeast, Maksatikhinsky District in the east, Vyshnevolotsky District in the south, Bologovsky District in the west, and with Borovichsky District of Novgorod Oblast in the west. The area of the district is 2,476.2 square kilometers (956.1 sq mi). Its administrative center is the town of Udomlya. Population: 40,292 (2010 Census);10,401 (2002 Census);12,426 (1989 Census). The population of Udomlya accounts for 77.1% of the district's total population.

The district lies in the southeastern part of the Valdai Hills and is split between the drainage basins of the Baltic and Caspian Seas. The rivers in the western part of the district drain into the Msta, a major tributary of Lake Ilmen, which belongs to the basin of the Neva and thus of the Baltic Sea. The Msta itself crosses the southwestern part of the district and makes a stretch of the border between Udomelsky and Bologovsky Districts. The central and the eastern parts of the district belong to the basin of the Mologa, a tributary of the Rybinsk Reservoir in the basin of the Volga which drains into Caspian Sea. Udomelsky District is a part of the lake district located in the Valdai Hills, with the largest lakes within the district being Lake Udomlya, Lake Pesvo, and Lake Navolok, all in the drainage basin of the Msta. Most of the district area is covered by forest.
