Tarabulus District (Arabic: شعبية طرابلس‎, Shab'iyat Ṭarābulus, in english also Tripoli District) is one of the 22 first level subdivisions (Shabiyat) of Libya. Its capital and largest city is Tripoli.

From 2001 to 2007 the Tarabulus district was smaller than the actual, including only the city of Tripoli and its surroundings. In 2007 the administrative reorganization of Libya restored the borders of the former Tarabulus Baladiyah (1983-1995).
