Izmail Raion (Ukrainian: Ізмаїльський район, romanizedIzmailskyi raion; Bulgarian: Измаилски район; Romanian: Raionul Ismail) is a raion (administrative division) in Odesa Oblast in southwestern Ukraine. Its administrative center is the town of Izmail. It is in the historical region of Budjak in southern Bessarabia. Population: 204,745 (2022 estimate).[1]

On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Odesa Oblast was reduced to seven, and the area of Izmail Raion was significantly expanded. Two abolished raions, Kiliia and Reni Raions, as well as the city of Izmail, which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Izmail Raion.[2][3] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 50,568 (2020 est.).[4]

In the 2001 Ukrainian Census, the raion, within its boundaries at that time, had a multi-ethnic population of 54,692, including 15,798 ethnic Ukrainians (28.89%), 15,083 self-identified Moldovans (27.58%), 14,072 Bulgarians (25.73%), 8,870 ethnic Russians (16.22%), 230 Gagauz (0.42%) and 34 self-identified Romanians (0.06%).[5] Izmail Raion, within its boundaries at that time, had 54,692 inhabitants in 2001, including 26.34% Ukrainian-speakers, 26.21% Romanian-speakers, 21.56% Russian-speakers, 24.88% Bulgarian-speaking and 0.26% Gagauz-speaking.[6][7]
