Ghizer District (2019–)
The Ghizer District ( ur, ) is one of the 14 districts of Pakistan-administered territory of Gilgit-Baltistan. The former Ghizer District that existed from 1974 to 2019 spanned the entire upper Gilgit River Valley (also known as the Ghizer River Valley). In 2019, the former district was divided into the Gupis-Yasin District in the west and the present, smaller Ghizer District in the east. The word Ghizer came from the name "Gherz" which means "refugees" in Khowar. "Gherz" is a village in Golaghmuli Valley. The Chitral State under the suzerainty of the British Raj forced some people to migrate towards Gupis, Yasin, Phander, Ishkomen and also to Punial.

Ghizer District (1974–2019)
The Ghizer District ( ur, ضلع غذر), formed in 1974, is the westernmost part of the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. Currently, it is proposed to split Ghizer District into two (2) districts: # The western part of Ghizer District includes the actual Ghizer/ Gherz Valley of Phander, Gupis and Yasin. The name as Ghizer District will be kept with this region due to the connectivity to its origin. # While the eastern part of the current District will include Puniyal and Ishkoman. And probably the newly district would be given the name as Puniyal-Ishkoman District. The current district has Gahkuch as its capital.
