Monastyryska Raion (Ukrainian: Монастириський район) was a raion (district) in Ternopil Oblast in western Ukraine. Its administrative center was the city of Monastyryska. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020, as part of an administrative reform in Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three. The area of Monastyryska Raion was merged into Chortkiv Raion.[1][2] The last estimate of the raion population was
The raion was created in 1939, after the invasion of Poland, when Poland was partitioned between Nazi Germany and Soviet Union. Monastyryska Raion was created out of the former Polish Buchach County. Several years later, it was abolished following the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany. The raion was reinstated in 1944 after return of the Soviet regime.
