Santō district, Administrative district in Niigata Prefecture, Japan

The Santō district comprises a land area of 44.38 square kilometers with Izumozaki as its single constituent town in Niigata Prefecture.

The district emerged from the former Koshi District and received its official administrative designation on April 9, 1879, marking a new era in local governance.

Several towns, including Koshiji, Mishima, Teradomari, and Yoita, formerly part of Santō, merged into Nagaoka city between 2005 and 2006.
