Uppingham was a rural district in Rutland, England from 1894 to 1974, covering the south-west of the county.

The rural district was formed by the Local Government Act 1894 from the part of the Uppingham rural sanitary district in Rutland. At the same time, the remainder of Uppingham RSD, which lay in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire became Hallaton Rural District and Gretton Rural District respectively.[1]

The only town in the district was Uppingham.

The rural district was abolished in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. Oakham RD was merged with three other authorities to become the non-metropolitan district of Rutland.[2]

Parishes

The rural district consisted of twenty civil parishes:[2]
