Lacs District (French: District des Lacs) is one of fourteen administrative districts of Ivory Coast. The district is located in the central part of the country. The capital of the district is Dimbokro.
Creation
Lacs District was created in an 2011 administrative reorganisation of the subdivisions of Ivory Coast.[3] The territory of the district was composed by merging the former regions of N'Zi-Comoé and Lacs and removing the area of the Yamoussoukro Autonomous District.[1]
Administrative divisions
Lacs District is currently subdivided into four regions and the following departments:
- Bélier Region (region seat in Yamoussoukro, outside of the district)
- Iffou Region (region seat in Daoukro)
- Moronou Region (region seat in Bongouanou)
- N'zi Region (region seat also in Dimbokro)
Moronou Region was created in 2012 as a split-off from N'Zi Region.

According to the 2014 census, Lacs District has a population of 1,258,604.[2]
