Zakharivka Raion (Ukrainian: Захарівський район); (Russian: Захаровский район), until May 2016 Frunzivka Raion (Ukrainian: Фрунзівський район, Frunzivskyi raion); (Russian: Фрунзовский район, Frunzovskyi raion), was a raion (district) in Odesa Oblast in southwestern Ukraine. The administrative center of the raion was the urban-type settlement of Zakharivka. According to the 2001 census, the majority of the Frunzivka district's population spoke Ukrainian (92.09%), with Romanian (4.07%) and Russian (3.22%) speakers in the minority. The raion was abolished and its territory was merged into Rozdilna Raion on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The last estimate of the raion population was 19,824 (2020 est.).
On 19 May 2016, Verkhovna Rada adopted decision to rename Frunzivka to Zakharivka and Frunzivka Raion to Zakharivka Raion conform to the law prohibiting names of Communist origin.
