Before July 2020, Kirovohrad Oblast was subdivided into 25 regions: 21 districts (raions) and 4 city municipalities (mis'krada or misto), officially known as territories governed by city councils.

Note: Asterisks (*) Though the administrative center of the rayon was housed in the city/town that it was named after, cities do not answer to the rayon authorities only towns do; instead they were directly subordinated to the oblast government and therefore were not counted as part of rayon statistics.
