The HaSharon Subdistrict is one of Israel's subdistricts in the Central District. The principal city of this subdistrict is Netanya. The subdistrict is situated in the Sharon plain, a section of Israel's coastal plain, from which it draws its name.
The subdistrict is mostly composed of what had been, during British-ruled Mandatory Palestine, the Tulkarm Subdistrict. The rest of Mandatory Tulkarm Subdistrict east of the Green Line constitutes the current Tulkarm Governorate.
