Pechorsky District, Municipal district in Pskov Oblast, Russia.

Located in northwestern Russia, Pechorsky District spans 1,251 square kilometers with Lake Peipus forming its northern boundary near the Estonian border.

The district underwent territorial changes after World War I, belonging to Estonia from 1920 until 1945 when the Soviet Union annexed the region.

The Pskovo-Pechersky Monastery, established in the 15th century, remains the central religious institution in the district, preserving Russian Orthodox traditions.

The district connects to major cities through a railroad linking Pskov and Tartu, with primary stations in Pechory and Novoizborsk.

The region maintains 83 federal cultural monuments, including the 14th-century fortress of Izborsk and several islands on Lake Peipus.
