Rozivka Raion (Ukrainian: Розівський район) was one of raions (districts) of Zaporizhzhia Oblast in southern Ukraine. The administrative center of the region was the urban-type settlement of Rozivka. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Zaporizhzhia Oblast to five. The area of Rozivka Raion was merged into Polohy Raion.[1][2] The last estimate of the raion population was 8,277 (2020 est.)[3].

On 19 April 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, a town hall assembly was reportedly organized in Russian-occupied Rozivka, where a majority of attendees (mainly seniors) voted by hand to join the separatist DPR. This came despite the raion being outside the boders claimed by the DPR leadership. The vote was claimed to be rigged and that organizers threated anyone voting against with arrest.[4][5]
