Bereznehuvate Raion ({{langx|uk|Березнегуватський район}}) was a subdivision of Mykolaiv Oblast of Ukraine. Its administrative center was the urban-type settlement of Bereznehuvate. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions in Mykolaiv Oblast to four.

History
Administratively, since 1776 the area belonged to Khersonsky Uyezd, which was shuffled between different governorates of the Russian Empire: Yekaterinoslav Viceroyalty until 1795, Voznesensk Viceroyalty until 1796, Novorossiya Governorate until 1803, Kherson Governorate until 1920,{{cite web|url=http://izvestia.nikolaev.ua/news/%D0%B1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B5-%D0%B2-xviii-xx-%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%85-%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F-%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BE/|title=Березнеговатое в XVIII-XX веках: история Николаевщины|date=12 December 2015|publisher=Николаевские Известия|language=ru-UA|accessdate=5 March 2016}} Nikolayev Governorate until 1921, and Odesa Governorate until 1923, when uyezds were abolished in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic; the governorates were divided into okruhas. In 1923, Bereznehuvate Raion of Kherson Okruha, with the administrative center in Bereznehuvate, was established.{{cite book|title=Вся Одещина|url=https://docviewer.yandex.ru/?url=ya-disk-public%3A%2F%2FTdG1IxgBK3nxam%2FLmzyk%2F86KLW2EGWMbE3OG6qJLy3Y%3D&name=1926_%D0%92%D1%81%D1%8F%20%D0%9E%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B0.pdf&c=56e3ff2c6b15|year=1926|publisher=Odesa Okruha|location=Odesa|page=410}} In 1925, the governorates were abolished, and okruhas were directly subordinated to the Ukrainian SSR. In 1930, okruhas were abolished.
