Hodonín District borders Slovakia in the south. The terrain is very varied. A large part consists of the lowland, which belongs to the warmest and driest areas in the country. The north and southeast of the territory is hilly. The territory extends into seven geomorphological mesoregions: Lower Morava Valley (southwest and centre), Kyjov Hills (a strip from west to east), Ždánice Forest (northwest), Chřiby (small part in the northeast), Vizovice Highlands (east), White Carpathians (southeast), and Chvojnice Hills (a negligible area along the Czech-Slovak border). The highest point of the district is a contour line on the slopes of the mountain Durda in Nová Lhota with an elevation of {{convert|838|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The lowest point of the district is the river bed of the Morava in Mikulčice at {{convert|158|m|ft|abbr=on}}.

From the total district area of {{cvt|1099.0|km2}}, agricultural land occupies {{cvt|684.7|km2}}, forests occupy {{cvt|278.7|km2}}, and water area occupies {{cvt|22.2|km2}}. Forests cover 25.4% of the district's area.

The main river of the district is the Morava, which flows across the district from east to southwest and partly forms the Czech-Slovak border. Its most important tributaries in the district are the Kyjovka and Velička. The Myjava River originates here, but immediately leaves the territory of the country.

Overall, the territory of the district is poor in bodies of water, but there is a numerous system of fishponds on the Kyjovka River. The largest of the ponds is Jarohněvický rybník with an area of {{convert|88.9|ha|abbr=on}}.{{cite web |title=Základní charakteristiky toku Kyjovka a jeho povodí|url=https://www.dibavod.cz/download.php?id_souboru=2422|publisher=T.

Bílé Karpaty is a protected landscape area that extends into the district in the southeast.
