Koraput district, Administrative district in southern Odisha, India.

The district spans 8,807 square kilometers of Eastern Ghats terrain, featuring hills, plateaus, and mineral deposits across Koraput and Jeypore subdivisions.

The district evolved from the Kingdom of Jeypore in the 15th century until British India established administrative control in the late 18th century.

The population includes numerous indigenous communities, with over 50 percent belonging to Scheduled Tribes maintaining their languages and traditions.

Transportation networks include major road connections and railway facilities, though navigation remains challenging due to the mountainous landscape.

The region cultivates specialized indigenous rice varieties that received international recognition for their agricultural significance.
