Dhubri (ধুবুৰী) is a district in western Assam, India, along the Brahmaputra River and the Bangladesh border. Its headquarters is Dhubri town. The district is known for its river landscapes, agricultural communities and history as a centre of trade and cultural exchange.
Residents include diverse linguistic and religious communities, with Assamese, Bengali and other languages spoken locally. Farming, fishing, trade and small businesses support livelihoods, while river islands and floodplains shape everyday life. Dhubri town’s notable landmarks include Gurudwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib and the historic Panchpeer Dargah. Asharikandi, known for terracotta craft, is another important cultural destination in the district.
Recurring civic concerns include Brahmaputra flooding, riverbank erosion and displacement, particularly in riverine settlements.

Border-related administration, land records and support for farmers and fishing communities are significant public issues.
