Khorol Raion (Ukrainian: Хорольський район) was a raion (district) in Poltava Oblast in central Ukraine. The raion's administrative center was the city of Khorol. The raion was abolished and its territory was merged into Lubny Raion[1] on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Poltava Oblast to four.[2][3] The last estimate of the raion population was 32,705 (2020 est.)[4]

At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of one hromadas,[5] Khorol urban hromada with the administration in Khorol.
