Kinondoni District, Administrative district in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

The district extends over 531 square kilometers in the northwest of Dar es Salaam, bordered by the Indian Ocean to the east and Pwani Region to the north.

The area formed part of German East Africa from 1891 to 1916, developing into a major administrative zone after Dar es Salaam became a significant port in 1887.

The Zaramo and Ndengereko peoples represent the original inhabitants of the district, which now contains a multi-ethnic population of over 1.7 million residents.

The district contains twenty administrative wards and 106 sub-wards, managing local services through committees of eight elected council members in each ward.

The Kunduchi Ruins, located within the district, represent one of the most complete Medieval Swahili settlements along the Tanzanian coast.
