The Okres Liberec (German: District Reichenberg ) was a territorial entity in the Liberec Region (Region Reichenberg ) in the Czech Republic. The Okresy were roughly comparable to the districts in Germany, the district administrations were dissolved on 31 December 2002. The district is located in northern Bohemia and extended from Jeschke mountains to the Jizera Mountains.

The Liberecko region is heavily industrialized. The most important sectors form metal processing, mechanical engineering, textile and plastics processing industry and more and more automotive suppliers. Due to the sharp decline in the textile industry, many jobs and export markets were lost. The unemployment rate is 9.2 %, which is still below the national average, although it is the highest in the Liberec Region. The gross salary is below the national average.
