Note: Bakhmut Raion (Ukrainian: Бахмутський район, romanized: Bakhmutskyi raion) is a raion (district) within the northeastern part of Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. Its administrative center is Bakhmut. Its area is 1,687 square kilometres (651 sq mi), and its population is approximately 220,275 (2022 est.).

Created in 1923, it was known as Artemivsk Raion from 1924 to 2016 after its administrative center, named in honor of the Soviet figure Comrade Artyom. Due to the Russo-Ukrainian War, three smaller municipalities were transferred away from Yenakiieve municipality and transferred to Bakhmut Raion (at that time Artemivsk Raion), among which are Vuhlehirsk municipality, Olkhovatka municipality, and Bulavynske municipality. On 4 February 2016, the Verkhovna Rada renamed raion to Bakhmut Raion under de-communization reforms.
