The Gupis-Yasin District (Urdu: ضلع گوپیس یاسین) lies in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. It is the western most of the 14 districts in Gilgit-Baltistan.
This district was established in 2019 by merging Gupis Tehsil and the Yasin Tehsil. These two western tehsils were originally part of the larger Ghizer District but were reorganized to create the Gupis-Yasin District as a separate administrative entity within Gilgit-Baltistan.
