Sculcoates Rural District was located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England from 1894 to 1935. The district formed three separate areas around Kingston upon Hull municipal borough.

The district was created by the Local Government Act 1894 and was abolished in 1935 by a County Review Order made under the Local Government Act 1929. The area then formed part of Holderness Rural District and the Haltemprice Urban District (both newly created). At the same time some civil parishes were transferred to Beverley Rural District and the municipal boroughs of Hedon and Kingston upon Hull.
