The Nazareth Subdistrict was one of the subdistricts of Mandatory Palestine. It was located around the city of Nazareth. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the district disintegrated; having fallen entirely within modern-day Israel, it was merged with the Beisan Subdistrict into the Jezreel Subdistrict.
