Turukhansky District, Municipal district in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.
The Turukhansky District extends across 211,189 square kilometers of land in western Krasnoyarsk Krai, bordering Taymyrsky, Evenkiysky, and Yeniseysky districts.
Established in 1928, the district served as an exile location during the Soviet period, including a gulag at Yermakovo constructed in 1949.
The district houses populations of Ket people, whose distinct language connects to Na-Dene languages, alongside Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian communities.
The district capital Turukhansk functions as the primary administrative center, with Podkamennaya Tunguska Airport providing transportation access to remote areas.
The Central Siberia Nature Reserve, established in 1985 within the district, protects substantial portions of East Siberian taiga ecosystems.
