Parry Sound District is a census division of the Canadian province of Ontario. Its seat is Parry Sound. Its boundaries are Muskoka to the south, the Sudbury District, the French River and Lake Nipissing in the north, Nipissing District, Ontario and North Bay in the north and east and parts of Algonquin Park in the northeast.

In 2005, the population was 42,179. The land area is 9,222 km² (3,560 mi²); the population density was 4.6 people/km² (12 people/mi²) [http://www.mndm.gov.on.ca/mndm/nordev/redb/sector_profiles/northern_ontario_e.pdf] .

Although geographically in Southern Ontario, the Parry Sound District is the only census division in the southern part of the province which does not have an incorporated county or regional municipality level of government, instead serving as a purely territorial division like the districts of Northern Ontario. In lieu of an upper tier of municipal administration, all government services in the district are provided either by the local municipalities or by the provincial government itself. Some communities which are not part of any incorporated municipality are served by local service boards. The district is also included in the service area of FedNor and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund.
