Kirovskyi District () is an urban district of the city of Donetsk, Ukraine, named after a mayor of the Russian city Saint Petersburg Sergei Kirov.

On 22 February 2026, the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration renamed it to Rutchenkivskyi District () as part of the decommunization and derussification campaign. This name comes from the former settlement of Rutchenkove. However, this name is only de jure used by the Ukrainian government and the renaming has not de facto taken place while Donetsk is under Russian control.
