Newport Pagnell was a rural district in the administrative county of Buckinghamshire, England, from 1894 to 1974. The rural district took over the responsibilities of the disbanded Newport Pagnell Rural Sanitary District. It was named after Newport Pagnell but from 1897 did not include the town as the new authority of Newport Pagnell Urban District had been created to which the town was assigned.

In 1895 the towns of Bletchley and Fenny Stratford and the parish of Simpson were transferred to the new urban district of Fenny Stratford.

In April 1974 Newport Pagnell RD was disbanded by order of the Local Government Act 1972. The parishes became part of the borough of Milton Keynes.
