Nakapiripirit District is a district in Northern Uganda. Like many other Ugandan districts, it is named after its 'chief town', Nakapiripirit, where the district headquarters are located. 

Formerly part of Moroto District, in 1974 Nakapiripirit existed as south Karamoja District, but was in 1980 merged with Central Karamoja to form Moroto District. IN 2001, it was again carved out of Moroto District.
