Maimay (Persian: مایمی‎‎) is a district in Region Darwaz Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan. It was created in 2005 from part of the Darwaz District. It is home to approximately 12,000 residents. This district borders with the Kuf Ab, Raghistan, Shighnnan, and Nusay districts, along with some districts in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province,  Tajikistan, including Vanj, Rushon, and Shughnon. The district was historically part of the Darwaz principality, a semi-independent statelet ruled by a mir.[1]
