Dzhankoy raion (Ukrainian: Джанкойський район, Russian: Джанкойский район, Crimean Tatar: Canköy rayonı) is one of the 25 regions of Crimea. It is located in the northern part of the Crimean steppe near the Syvash bay. The city of Dzhankoy is the raion's centre, but it is excluded from the region and form a separate city municipality. The North-Crimean channel (the main waterway of northern Crimea supplying the republic with water from the Dnieper river) is going through the raion.
