Saanen District is one of the 26 administrative districts in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. Its capital, while having administrative power, was the municipality of Saanen. From 1 January 2010, the district lost its administrative power while being replaced by the Obersimmental-Saanen (administrative district), whose administrative centre is still Saanen. Since 2010, it remains therefore a fully recognised district under the law and the Constitution (Art.3 al.2) of the Canton of Berne. The district has an area of 241 km² and consists of 3 municipalities:

Municipality	Population (Dec 2007)^[1]	Area (km²)
Gsteig bei Gstaad	964	62.4
Lauenen	802	58.7
Saanen	6,874	119.8
