Chaplynka Raion (Ukrainian: Чаплинський район) was one of the 18 administrative raions (a district) of Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine. Its administrative center was located in the urban-type settlement of Chaplynka. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Chaplynka Raion was merged into Kakhovka Raion. The last estimate of the raion population was 34,149 (2020 est.)

At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of four hromadas:

• Askania-Nova settlement hromada with the administration in the urban-type settlement of Askania-Nova;
• Chaplynka settlement hromada with the administration in Chaplynka;
• Hryhorivka rural hromada with the administration in the selo of Hryhorivka;
• Khrestivka rural hromada with the administration in the selo of Khrestivka.
