The Ushitsa uezd was a county (uezd) of the Podolia Governorate of the Russian Empire. The uezd bordered Letichev uezd to the north, the Mogilev uezd to the east, the Khotin uezd of the Bessarabia Governorate to the south, and the Kamenets-Podolsky uezd to the west. It included most of Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion of Ukraine. The district was eponymously named for its administrative center, Novaya Ushitsa (modern-day Nova Ushytsia).
