Gwadar District, Administrative district on the Arabian Sea coast in Balochistan, Pakistan.

Gwadar District extends along the Arabian Sea with numerous small streams and the Dasht River flowing through its northern territories.

The district remained under Omani control from 1783 until 1958 when Pakistan acquired the territory through a formal purchase agreement.

The population of Gwadar District maintains strong Balochi traditions, with 97 percent of residents communicating in the Balochi language.

The district contains multiple fishing settlements, salt production facilities, and agricultural zones where farmers grow sorghum, wheat, and barley.

The district functions as a central point in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, featuring a deep-water port connecting western China to global trade routes.
