'''Kapurthala district''' is a district of [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]] state in northern [[India]]. The city of [[Kapurthala]] is the district headquarters.

Kapurthala District is one of the smallest districts of Punjab in terms of both area and population, with 815,168 people by the 2011 census. The district is divided into two noncontiguous parts, the main Kapurthala-[[Sultanpur Lodhi]] portion and the [[Phagwara]] [[tehsil]] or block.

The Kapurthala-Sultanpur Lodhi part lies between north latitude 31° 07' and 31° 22' and east longitude 75° 36'. In the north it is bound by [[Hoshiarpur district|Hoshiarpur]], [[Gurdaspur district|Gurdaspur]], and [[Amritsar district|Amritsar]] districts, in the west by the [[Beas River]] and Amritsar district, and in south by the [[Sutlej River]], [[Jalandhar district]], and Hoshiarpur district.

Phagwara tehsil lies between north latitude 31° 22' and east longitude 75° 40' and 75° 55'. Phagwara lies on the National Highway No 1, and the tehsil is much more industrially developed than the remainder of Kapurthala District. Phagwara is situated at a distance of {{convert|19|km|mi|sp=us}} southeast of Jalandhar, and the tehsil is bounded on two sides by Jalandhar District whereas north by hoshiarpur district and east by S B S nagar district.

The district has three subdivisions/[[tehsils]]: Kapurthala, Phagwara, and Sultanpur Lodhi. The total area of the district is {{cvt|1633|km}} of which {{cvt|909.09|km2}} is in Kapurthala tehsil, {{cvt|304.05|km2}} is in Phagwara tehsil and {{cvt|451.0|km2}} is in Sultanpur Lodhi tehsil. The economy of the district is still predominantly agricultural. The major crops are [[wheat]], [[rice]], [[sugarcane]], [[potato]] and [[maize]]. The major portion of Kapurthala district lies between the [[Beas River]] and the Kali-Bein River and is called the ‘BET’ area. This area is prone to floods. Water logging and alkalinity in the soil is the major problem of the area. A flood protection [[Dike (construction)|bundh]] called ‘Dhussi Bundh’ has been constructed along the left bank of the Beas River, and it has saved the area from the ravages of flood. The entire district is an [[alluvial plain]]. To the south of the river Kali-Bein lies the tract known as ‘Dona’ meaning the soil formed of two constituents i.e. the sand and clay.

The climate is typical of the Punjab plains i.e. hot in summers and cold in winters. It has sub-tropical continental [[monsoon]] type climate. Intensive [[agriculture|cultivation]] in the district leaves no scope for [[forest cover]] and [[wildlife]] is practically nonexistent.
