Nenets Autonomous District (; Nenets: Ненёцие автономной ӈокрук, Nenjocije awtonomnoj ŋokruk) is a federal subject of Russia and part of Arkhangelsk Oblast (an autonomous okrug of Arkhangelsk Oblast). Its administrative center is the town of Naryan-Mar. It has an area of and a population of 42,090 as of the 2010 Census (the smallest of all federal subjects by population).

A plan to merge the Autonomous Okrug with the Arkhangelsk Oblast was presented by the governors of both federal subjects on 13 May 2020, with a referendum planned for September. However, the plan was met with public outcry. On July 2, the voters of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug were the only in the whole Federation with more votes 'against' than 'for' in the 2020 Russian constitutional referendum. The merger process, which had already been postponed, was scrapped completely as a result.
