Ainaro is one of 13 administrative districts of East Timor, in the southwest part of the country. It has a population of 53,629 (census 2004) and an area of 797 km². Its capital is the city of Ainaro, a small mountain town.

The district is identical to that of the same in Portuguese Timor, with the following exceptions: during the Indonesian occupation, the subdistrict of Turiscai became part of Manufahi from Ainaro, and the subdistrict of Hatudo became part of Ainaro in exchange.

The suco of Mape-Zumalai became part of Cova-Lima in 2003.
