Yamato district, Former administrative district in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.

The Yamato district covered 103.78 square kilometers with a population density of 625 people per square kilometer in 2003.

Established on November 1, 1878, the Yamato district operated until January 29, 2007, when it dissolved following municipal mergers in Fukuoka Prefecture.

The region contributed to the development of local dialects and traditions within Fukuoka Prefecture, maintaining connections with both urban and rural communities.
