Poznań District was the southern of two administrative districts (Polish:Rejencja, German: Regierungsbezirk) of the Grand Duchy of Poznań (1815-1918) (later also called Province of Poznań (1849-1918) by the Prussian administration.

It was bordered on the north by the Bydgoszcz district, to the west by Brandenburg, to the south by Silesia and to the east by Congress Poland.

The Poznań district was inhabited mainly by Poles and had a smaller percentage of German settlers, and was therefore less Protestant.
