Buk District (Korean: 북구; RR: Buk-gu; lit. north district) is a district in northwestern Daegu, South Korea. It adjoins Chilgok County on the north. The area is 93.99 km. The population is about 414,883.

Buk District was first created as an office of Daegu in 1938, during the period of Japanese rule. It was raised to the status of a district in 1963. For most of the twentieth century, Buk District was purely an administrative division of Daegu, without any local autonomy. The first district council was inaugurated in 1991, and the first district head was elected in 1995, as part of nationwide local government reforms.

Kyungpook National University and Yeungjin College are located in Buk District.

During the Silla period, it belonged to Daegu and palgeori prefectures, and during the Later Three Kingdoms period, it belonged to Daegu and Pali. During the Joseon period, it was located on the border of Daegu. In January 1963, it was upgraded to the status of Buk District. In 1981, as Daegu rose to a direct city, its status was raised to Buk District, Daegu.
