Tarvin was, from 1894 to 1974, a rural district in the administrative county of Cheshire, England. The district was named after the village of Tarvin, and saw considerable boundary changes throughout its life.[1]

The district was created by the Local Government Act 1894 as the successor to Tarvin Rural Sanitary District. It initially consisted of the following civil parishes:[2]

The Local Government Act 1972 completely reorganised council boundaries throughout England and Wales. On 1 April 1974 Tarvin Rural District was merged with the city and county borough of Chester and the Chester Rural District to form the new non-metropolitan district of Chester.[2]
