Haripur District (Hindko, Urdu: ضلع ہری پور) is a district in the Hazara Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Before obtaining the status of a district in 1991, Haripur was a tehsil of Abbottabad District.^[2][3]: 5 Its headquarters are the city of Haripur.

Geographically, the district borders the Abbottabad District to the northeast, Mansehra District to the northeast, the Punjab to the southeast, the Buner to the northwest, and Swabi to the west. The federal capital of Islamabad is adjacent to the district in the south.

In the 2023 census, 3,901 (0.33%) people in the district were from religious minorities, mainly Christians.^[5]

At the time of the 2023 census, 80.32% of the population spoke Hindko, 14.7% spoke Pashto, 2% Urdu, and 1.01% Punjabi as their first language.^[6]

The literacy rate in the Haripur district is 72.21%, substantially higher than the literacy rate in the region of Hazara, which is 35.2%. The female literacy rate is only 61.08% compared to male literacy of 83.07%, and the urban literacy rate of 82.34% is higher than the rural rate of 70.59%.

The district of Haripur was a tehsil (sub-division) of the Abbottabad District until 1992. After that, it received the status of an independent district.^[3] Currently, Haripur District is divided into three Tehsils:

1. Haripur Tehsil (Urdu: تحصیل ہری پور)^[7]
2. Khanpur Tehsil (Urdu: تحصیل خانپور)
3. Ghazi Tehsil (Urdu: تحصیل غازی) ^[8][7]

Haripur District has two government-funded postgraduate colleges, providing higher-level education, as well as four-degree colleges for women. The Haripur University was established in 2012, which was initially a Haripur campus (established in March 2008) of the Hazara University .The campus was upgraded to a full-fledged University of Haripur (UoH) in 2012 by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.^[9][10]

In addition, the project of the Pak-Austria Fachhochschule Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology has also been functioning and is providing higher education since 2017 in village Mang at the main Khanpur Road in Haripur.
