Dartford Rural District was a rural district with an area of 34,037 acres (138 km2) in the county of Kent, England from 1894 until 1974. In 1971 it had a population of 64,561 and an electorate of 43,911. At dissolution it was the most populous rural district council in Kent, but had once been larger, having lost territory when Crayford Urban District was created in 1920, and Swanscombe Urban District in 1926.

In 1974 it was split between the Borough of Dartford and the new District of Sevenoaks. The parishes of Ash with Ridley, Eynsford, Farningham, Fawkham, Hartley, Horton Kirby, Swanley and West Kingsdown, which became part of Sevenoaks District are sometimes still collectively referred to as 'the Northern Parishes'. Longfield parish originally went to Sevenoaks, but was transferred to Dartford Borough in 1987.
