Matiari District (Sindhi: ضلعو مٽیاري, Urdu: ضلع مٹیاری) is a district in the Pakistani province of Sindh. Located on the left bank of the Indus River, Matiari became an independent district on 30 May 2004 during the military regime of Pervez Musharraf, when Hyderabad was divided into four districts — Tando Allahyar, Matiari, Tando Mohammad Khan and Hyderabad.
