Novopskov Raion ({{Langx|uk|Новопсковський район}}) was a raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. The administrative center of the raion is the urban-type settlement of Novopskov. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Luhansk Oblast to eight, of which only four were controlled by the government.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
