Mackenzie District is a political district in New Zealand's South Island administered by the Mackenzie District Council. It is part of the larger Canterbury Region.

A relatively weakly settled area, the District does have a wide number of farms. It has a dry temperate-continental climate with clear, crisp snowy winters and long, hot summers. Autumn is known for being a riot of colour, while spring brings wild flowers blooming throughout the region including lupins.

Famous scenic spots as Aoraki/Mount Cook, Tasman Glacier, Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki are located in this district.

The current district mayor is Claire Barlow, and she is the first female mayor of the district.
