Brecknock was a rural district in the administrative county of Breconshire, Wales, from 1894 - 1974. The district surrounded, but did not include, the town of Brecon, which was a separate municipal borough.

In 1974 local government throughout Wales was reorganised. Under the Local Government Act 1972 the rural district was abolished and it was combined with a number of other districts to form the Borough of Brecknock, one of three districts of the new county of Powys.

The district comprised the following civil parishes.[1] They are listed below using the spelling current at the times of the rural district's existence:
