Mlyniv Raion ({{langx|uk|Млинівський район}}) was a former administrative division (raion) in Rivne Oblast of western Ukraine. Its administrative center was the urban-type settlement of Mlyniv.
The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions in Rivne Oblast to four. The territory of Mlyniv Raion was merged into Dubno Raion.{{Cite web |title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

Administrative reform
The administrative reform of Ukraine in 2020 aimed to streamline the local government structure by reducing the number of raions across the country. As a result, Mlyniv Raion ceased to exist, and its administrative functions and territory were transferred to Dubno Raion. The reform was part of Ukraine's broader decentralization initiative to strengthen local governance.{{Cite web |title=Decentralization reform in Ukraine: Overview |url=https://decentralization.gov.ua/en/about |publisher=Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine |access-date=2023-10-03}}
