Simanjiro District is one of the six districts of the Manyara Region of Tanzania.
It is bordered to the north by Arusha Region, to the northeast by Kilimanjaro Region, to the southeast by Tanga Region, to the south by Kiteto District, to the southwest by Dodoma Region and to the west by Babati Rural District.
The district headquarters are located in Orkesumet.
The area is home to significant tanzanite deposits, which are only found in northern Tanzania. Local miner Saniniu Laizer made headlines in 2020 after mining three stones and selling them for approximately $5.4 million.
