Al Butnan (Arabic: البطنان), Tubruq or Tokbruk (Arabic: طبرق), District is one of the districts in the north-east of Libya in Northern Africa. Its capital is Tobruk. It was renamed from Tubruq to Al Butnan in the 1995 administrative reorganization.
In the north, Al Butnan has a shoreline on the Mediterranean Sea. To the east, it borders Egypt's Matruh Governorate, along with a small border on Egypt's Al Wadi al Jadid Governorate in the far southeast. The important border crossing is at Musaid (Amsaad). Al Butnan is bordered on the south by Al Kufrah District, on the west by Al Wahat, on the northwest by Al Qubah and on the far northwest by the Darnah District.
