Northwich Rural District was a rural district surrounding, but not including the towns of Northwich and Winsford in Cheshire, England. It was created in 1894 from part of the Runcorn Rural Sanitary District.

In 1936, several changes were made to the boundaries of the rural district; the most significant was enlargement due to the abolition of Tarporley Urban District. Before the 1936 changes, the district also surrounded the town of Middlewich.

In 1974, the district was abolished and became the Vale Royal District (later formally known as the Borough of Vale Royal), along with Northwich Urban District, Winsford Urban District and parts of Runcorn Rural District.

The council was based in Hartford (west of Northwich) which became the headquarters of Vale Royal District Council.
