Haut-Katanga District (Upper Katanga District) is a former district located in the former Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The copper mining centers of Lubumbashi and Likasi were surrounded by the district but were administratively separate.
Historical province
From 1963 to 1966, the area was constituted as Katanga Oriental. In 1966, it was merged with the former Lualaba Province to create Sud-Katanga, and was then merged into the new Shaba Region. Presidents of Katanga Oriental were:
13 Aug 1963 - 20 Jul 1965 Édouard Bulundwe (b. 1932)
20 Jul 1965 - 24 Apr 1966 Godefroid Munongo (s.a.)

The re-partition was completed in 2015, forming Haut-Katanga Province.
