Košice–okolie District (okres Košice–okolie; Hungarian: Kassa-vidéki járás) is a district in the Košice Region of eastern Slovakia. It surrounds the city of Košice.

The Košice–okolie District was a part of Great Moravia until the 10th century. After the district fell apart, the area was incorporated into the Abaúj and Torna, which are counties of the Kingdom of Hungary.

The region was a part of Abaúj-Torna County from 1882 until the end of World War I. After that, it became a part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia.

Excluding a small section in the north, the district formed part of Abovsko-turnianská župa of the county of Šariš from 1918 to 1923. From 1923 to 1928, the Košice–okolie District was considered to be a part of Košická župa. From 1923 to 1938, the district was considered to be Slovak land. After the First Vienna Award in 1938, the district was divided between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany. After World War II, the region became known as the district of Košice-vidiek, that is, a part of Košický kraj. The district of Košice-okolie was established in 1997.[1]
