Petrovskyi District () is an urban district of the city of Donetsk, under the control of the de facto Donetsk People's Republic, named after a Soviet political figure Grigoriy Petrovsky. It was created in 1937.
On 22 February 2026, the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration renamed it to Voznesenskyi District () as part of the decommunization and derussification campaign. This name comes from the Voznesenskyi Rudnyk mine, which was later renamed to Petrovskyi Rudnyk. 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.
