Medina was a non-metropolitan district with the status of a borough on the Isle of Wight in England from 1974 to 1995.

The district was formed by the Local Government Act 1972, and was a merger of the municipal boroughs of Newport and Ryde along with the urban district of Cowes. It was one of two districts on the Island formed in 1974 - the other was South Wight.

"Medina" was an older name for Newport which has been preserved in the River Medina.

Following a review by the Local Government Commission for England, the borough was abolished on 1 April 1995, when a single Isle of Wight Council replaced the Isle of Wight County Council and the island's two district councils.{{Cite web |url=http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1994/Uksi_19941210_en_1.htm |title=The Isle of Wight (Structural Change) Order 1994 |access-date=12 January 2009 |publisher=Office of Public Sector Information |year=2004}}
