Tiberias Subdistrict (Arabic: قضاء طبريا; Hebrew: נפת טבריה) was one of the subdistricts of Mandatory Palestine, and as of 1945 it was part of the Galilee District.
According to the 1947 partition plan, the district was to belong entirely to the Jewish state. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, small areas south and east of the Sea of Galilee were conquered by the Syrian Army and became No Man's Land, while the whole of the sub-district became the modern Kineret sub-district Kinneret County in the North District
