Boston was a rural district in the administrative county of Holland in Lincolnshire from 1894 to 1974.

It was formed from the Boston Rural Sanitary District by the Local Government Act 1894. It did not include the Municipal Borough of Boston. Rural Sanitary Districts could cover both sides of a county boundary; Rural Districts could not. Therefore the part of Boston Rural Sanitary District which was in the neighbouring administrative county of Lindsey formed the Sibsey Rural District.

In 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972 (under which Holland, Kesteven and Lindsey were no longer used), it was merged with the town of Boston in a new borough of Boston or Boston District in Lincolnshire.
