'''Dhaka District''' ({{lang-bn|ঢাকা জেলা}}, Dhaka jela) is a [[Districts of Bangladesh|district]] in central [[Bangladesh]],<ref name=Banglapedia>{{cite book

It is a part of the [[Dhaka Division]]. [[Dhaka]], the capital of Bangladesh, and rests on the eastern banks of the [[Buriganga River]] which flows from the [[Turag River|Turag]] to the southern part of the district. While Dhaka (city corporation) occupies only about a fifth of the area of Dhaka district, it is the economic, political and cultural centre of the district and the country as a whole. Dhaka District consists with Dhaka, [[Keraniganj Upazila|Keraniganj]] , Nababganj, Dohar, Savar and Dhamrai upazila. Dhaka District is an administrative entity, and like many other cities it does not cover the modern [[conurbation]] which is [[Greater Dhaka]], which has spilled into neighbouring districts, nor does the conurbation cover the whole district, as there are rural areas within the district.
