The Districts of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol are a subdivision of the two Italian autonomous provinces of Trento (Trentino) and Bolzano (South Tyrol). They were established by a decree of the President of Italy (Nr. 987) on 10 June 1955.

In South Tyrol their name is Comunità comprensoriale or Comprensorio (in Italian), Bezirksgemeinschaft (in German), Cumunità raion or Comunitè comprensoriala (in Ladin). In Trentino is Comunità di valle (in Italian) and Talgemeinschaft (in German).
