Kamimashiki district, Administrative district in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

The Kamimashiki district extends across 784 square kilometers of land in Kumamoto Prefecture, encompassing five distinct municipalities: Kashima, Kōsa, Mashiki, Mifune, and Yamato.

The district was formally established on January 20, 1879, during the Meiji period reforms that restructured Japan's administrative divisions into their modern configuration.

Residents of the district maintain agricultural traditions through rice cultivation and local produce farming, contributing to the regional food production of Kumamoto Prefecture.

The district maintains a population density of 115 persons per square kilometer, with local government offices providing administrative services to approximately 90,000 residents.

The district underwent significant changes in 2005 when the municipalities of Yabe and Seiwa merged with Soyō from Aso District to form the current town of Yamato.
