Inverness District was a local government district, created in 1975 as one of eight districts within the Highland region in Scotland. It was named after its largest settlement of Inverness, where its council was based. The district also included a large rural area, including Loch Ness. The district was abolished in 1996 when Highland was made a single-tier council area. Since then, the Highland Council has had an area committee covering a similar area to the abolished district.
