Boikivske Raion (Ukrainian: Бойківський район) or Telmanove Raion (Ukrainian: Тельманівський район, romanized: Telmanivskyi raion) was one of the administrative raions (a district) of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine from 1934 until 2020. The administrative center of the raion was located in the urban-type settlement of Boikivske, also known as Telmanove. The last estimate of the raion population, reported by the Ukrainian government, was 13,773 (2020 est.).
Since 2014, much of the area of the raion has been controlled by the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), a Russia-supported breakaway state (later explicitly and illegally annexed by Russia).
