Shamkan District (Persian: بخش شامکان) is in Sheshtamad County, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Shamkan.[3]

At the 2006 National Census, its population (as a part of the former Sheshtamad District of Sabzevar County) was 10,610 in 2,630 households.[4] The following census in 2011 counted 11,326 people in 3,239 households.[5] At the latest census in 2016, the district had 10,156 inhabitants in 3,114 households.[2]

The city of Sheshtomad became the new county's capital.[3] The village of Shamkan was later elevated to the status of a city and became the capital of Shamkan District.[6]
