The rural district of Hinckley was set up in 1894, covering the rural area around Hinckley, Leicestershire, England. It was named for Hinckley, but did not include it. It was created by the Local Government Act 1894 based on the Hinckley Rural Sanitary District.
The district was split up in 1935, under the review caused by the Local Government Act 1929, with part going to Hinckley urban district, and most of the rest going to Blaby Rural District and Market Bosworth Rural District. Small parts went to Nuneaton and Atherstone Rural District.

“[They] hired a large house as a receptacle for gentlewomen, who either had no fortunes, or so little that it would not support them. For these they made the most comfortable institution [and] provided [them] with all conveniences for rural amusements, a library, musical instruments, and implements for various works.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
