Aylesbury Rural District

Aylesbury was a rural district in the administrative county of Buckinghamshire, England from 1894 to 1974. It was named after but did not include Aylesbury, which was a separate municipal borough. It was created by the Local Government Act 1894 and took over the responsibilities of the disbanded Aylesbury Rural Sanitary District.

The boundaries of the district were substantially altered in the 1930s. In 1933 the county boundary with Oxfordshire was adjusted, and the parish of Kingsey was added to Buckinghamshire and to Aylesbury RD. In 1934 a County Review Order reorganised all the county districts in Buckinghamshire. Aylesbury RD took in most of the disbanded Long Crendon Rural District, while a number of parishes were transferred to Wing Rural District.

The rural district was abolished in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972, with its area forming part of the non-metropolitan district of Aylesbury Vale.
