Valky Raion ({{Langx|uk|Валківський район}}) was a raion (district) in Kharkiv Oblast of Ukraine. Its administrative center was the town of Valky. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Valky Raion was merged into Bohodukhiv Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

A peasant army, of according to various estimates, 1,500 to 3,500 people proclaimed a "Ukrainian People's Government" in April 1920, but was defeated early May 1920 after a failed attempt to capture Valky and its members were executed.{{in lang|ru}} [https://vecherniy.kharkov.ua/news/4023/ THE CITY OF THE REBELLIOUS], Vecherniy Kharkov (15 May 2006)
