The Kinneret Subdistrict is one of the subdistricts of Israel's Northern District. The largest city and the centre of the subdistrict is the city of Tiberias on the western coast of the Sea of Galilee.

The subdistrict is mostly composed of what had been, during British-ruled Mandatory Palestine, the Tiberas Subdistrict.
