Beverley Rural District existed in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England from 1894 to 1974. The district surrounded Beverley on the east, north and west sides, with the area to the south being the northern environs of Kingston upon Hull. The town of Beverley was a municipal borough separate from the rural area round about.

The district was created by the Local Government Act 1894. In 1935 there was a great deal of reorganization of the rural and urban districts surrounding Hull and Beverley. The rural district absorbed parts of Cottingham Urban District and Sculcoates Rural District when the two latter districts which had previously separated Beverley from Hull were abolished. At the same time the district was enlarged by absorbing parts of Howden Rural District (further west). Some portions of parishes were transferred to Kingston upon Hull County Borough.

In 1974 Beverley Rural District was abolished. Its former area was combined with that of the Municipal Borough of Beverley and Haltemprice Urban District to form an enlarged Beverley Borough in the short-lived county of Humberside. In 1996 Humberside was ceased to exist and the area that was Beverley Rural District now forms part of the revived East Riding of Yorkshire which is a unitary authority.
