The Paphos District,[a] or simply Paphos (also Pafos),[b] is one of the six districts of Cyprus and it is situated in the western part of Cyprus. Its main town and capital is Paphos. The entire district is controlled by the internationally recognised government of Cyprus. There are four municipalities in Paphos District: Paphos, Yeroskipou, Pegeia, and Polis Chrysochous.

The area of the district is 1,396 km2, which constitutes the 15.1% of the total area of the island, and the population as of 2021 was 101,106.[3][4] Its coastal area is characterised by gulfs and coves, capes and points, beaches and tiny isles.
