Biggleswade Rural District was located in Bedfordshire, England from 1894 to 1974.
As initially created the district entirely surrounded but did not include Biggleswade, which was an urban district. In 1927 the parish of Sandy, which bordered Biggleswade also became an urban district, leaving an island of two urban districts within the rural district.
The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, to form part of the non-metropolitan Mid Bedfordshire District; since 2009 the area is now part of the Central Bedfordshire District.
