'''Al-Mahmudiya''' ('''{{lang|ar|المحمودية}}''') is a district in [[Baghdad Governorate]], [[Iraq]]. Its seat is [[Mahmoudiyah, Iraq|Mahmoudiyah]].
Mahmudiya District has approximately 550,000 inhabitants, about over 88 percent of them [[Shia|Sunni]] and the rest [[Sunni|Shia]]. This ratio is the result of the [[Civil war in Iraq (2006–07)|Iraqi Civil War]] of 2006–2007, when the Shias of [[Yusufiya]] and [[Iskandariya]] moved to Mahmudiya, and the Sunnis of Mahmudiya sought refuge in the other two cities. Most of the inhabitants live in rural areas.
Tribal inhabitants of the district are of five tribes: '''Al Janabi''', [[Dulaim]], [[Al Ubaid]], '''Qarghoul''' and [[Al Jubour]]
