Ochamchira district is a district of the Republic of Abkhazia. Its capital is Ochamchira, the town by the same name.

The population of the Ochamchira district is 24,629 according to the 2003 census. [http://www.ethno-kavkaz.narod.ru/rnabkhazia.html 1989, 2003 Census results] ] Until the August 2008 Battle of the Kodori Valley, some mountainous parts of the district were still under Georgian control, as part of Upper Abkhazia.
