Sambir Raion ({{langx|uk|Самбірський район}}) is a raion (district) in Lviv Oblast in western Ukraine. Its administrative center is Sambir. Population: {{Ua-pop-est2022|221,896|.}} It was established in 1965.

On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Lviv Oblast was reduced to seven, and the area of Sambir Raion was significantly expanded. Two abolished raions, Staryi Sambir and Turka Raions, as well as the city of Sambir, which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Sambir Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
