Sheptytskyi Raion ({{langx|uk|Шептицький район}}) is a raion (district) of Lviv Oblast, Ukraine. It was known as Chervonohrad Raion ({{langx|uk|Червоноградський район}}) from 2020 until 2024. The center of the raion is the city of Sheptytskyi. Population: {{Ua-pop-est2022|226,102|.}}
History
From the 12th century, the area that is now Sheptytskyi Raion was part of the Duchy of Belz, before being incorporated into the Polish Belz Voivodeship in the 15th century. The areas became part of the Ukrainian SSR as a result of the 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange.
The raion was created as Chervonohrad Raion on 18 July 2020 as part of the reform of administrative divisions of Ukraine. Two abolished raions, Radekhiv and Sokal Raions, as well as Chervonohrad Municipality and part of Kamianka-Buzka Raion, were merged into the new raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
