Kuibyshevskyi District (, ) is an urban district of the city of Donetsk, Ukraine, named after a Soviet political figure Valerian Kuybyshev.
It was created in 1937 as one of the first six original city districts. It is located at the northwestern part of the city.
On 22 February 2026, the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration renamed it to Smolianskyi District () as part of the decommunization and derussification campaign. This name comes from Smolianynivski Kopalni mines and the Smolianynova Hill. However, this name is only de jure used by the Ukrainian government and the renaming has not de facto taken place while Donetsk is under Russian control.
