Veselynove Raion (Ukrainian: Веселинівський район) was a subdivision of Mykolaiv Oblast of Ukraine. Its administrative center was the urban-type settlement of Veselynove. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Mykolaiv Oblast to four.

On 16 April 1920, Odessa Governorate split off, and Ananyevsky Uyezd was moved to Odessa Governorate. In 1920, the area was moved to Voznesensky Uyezd. In 1923, uyezds in Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic were abolished, and the governorates were divided into okruhas. In 1930, okruhas were abolished, and on 27 February 1932, Odessa Oblast was established, and the area was included into Odessa Oblast.
