Kelardasht District (Persian: بخش کلاردشت) is a former administrative division of Chalus County, Mazandaran province, Iran. Its capital was the city of Kelardasht.[3] Kelardasht corresponds to historical Kelarestaq.[4]

Kelardasht Rural District was renamed Kelardasht-e Sharqi Rural District and remained with the newly established Kelardasht-e Gharbi Rural District in the district.[6]
After the census, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Kelardasht County.[7]
