Dang Deokhuri District, a part of Rapti Zone, is one of the seventy-five districts of Nepal, a landlocked country of South Asia. The district, with Tribhuvannagar as its district headquarters, covers an area of 2,955km² and has a population (2001) of 462,380.

There are many Tharu people living here. Since the early 1990s, activist groups have been attempting to eradicate the practice of child indentured servitude among the Tharu, many of whom sold their young daughters to wealthy families in urban areas.
