Pohrebyshche Raion (Ukrainian: Погребищенський район, romanized: Pohrebyschens'kyi raion) was a raion (district) of Vinnytsia Oblast in west-central Ukraine. The administrative center of the district was the town of Pohrebyshche. The raion was abolished and its territory was merged into Vinnytsia Raion on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Vinnytsia Oblast to six.[2][3] The last estimate of the raion population was 28,321 (2020 est.).[4]
