Sokh District (Uzbek: Сўх тумани, romanized: Soʻx tumani, Tajik: ноҳияи Сӯх, romanized: Nohiyai Sūx, Russian: Сохский район, romanized: Sokhsky rayon) is a district of Uzbekistan's Fergana Region. It consists of two exclaves of Uzbekistan, surrounded by Kyrgyzstan. Despite being part of Uzbekistan, its population is almost entirely ethnic Tajiks, and the southern part of the district is closer to the border with Tajikistan than with the rest of Uzbekistan. Its capital is the town of Ravon. It has an area of 220 km2 (85 sq mi) and it has 80,600 inhabitants as of 2022. The district consists of seven urban-type settlements (Ravon, Qalʻa, Sarikanda, Soʻx, Tul, Hushyor, Tarovatli) and four rural communities (Sohibkor, Ravon, Soʻx, Hushyor). Another village in the district is Limbur.
