Famagusta District is one of the six districts of Cyprus. Its main town is the island's most important port, Famagusta. The city of Fagamusta is currently controlled by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus which is only recognized by Turkey.

A district administration in "exile" exists on the Republic of Cyprus controlled part of the island. This part of the district has a population of 37,738 inhabitants (2001).^[1]

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus administers most of the old district of Famagusta. The central portion is administered as the North Cypriot district of Famagusta, while the northeastern section (including the Karpasia Peninsula) is administered separately as the İskele District.
