Kreis Hohensalza ([ˌhoːənˈzalt͡sa], 1904-1920), named most of the time of its existence Kreis Inowrazlaw (1772-1807, and again 1818-1904) was a district (German: Kreise) in Prussia, with the district territory belonging to Germany from 1871 on. It first formed part of the governmental Netze District within the Prussian province of West Prussia (1772-1807) and was then a district within the governmental Bromberg Region, first in the Grand Duchy of Posen (1815-1848, in personal union with Prussia) and then in the Prussian Province of Posen (1848-1920).

The district's capital was Inowrazlaw (renamed as Hohensalza in December 1904). On 1 July 1886 southern areas of the district territory were disentangled and became part of the new district of Strelno. In the course of the Greater Poland uprising (1918–19) southern parts of the remaining district territory came under Polish control, the northern part with Argenau/Gniewkowo remained under German civil administration. Following the Versailles Treaty of July 1919 Germany gradually handed over the northern part of the district territory between 17 January and 4 February 1920. It then became the Powiat Inowrocławski (i.e. Inowrocław District/County).
