Samar Raion ({{langx|uk|Самарівський район}}), until 2024 known as Novomoskovsk Raion ({{langx|uk|Новомосковський район|links=no}}), is a raion (district) of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, southeastern-central Ukraine. Its administrative centre is located at Samar. Population: {{Ua-pop-est2022|167,526|.}}

On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast was reduced to seven, and the area of Novomoskovsk Raion was significantly expanded. One abolished raion, Mahdalynivka Raion, as well as the city of Novomoskovsk (which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion), were merged into Novomoskovsk Raion.{{Cite news |date=2020-07-18 |script-title=uk:Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
