Ellichpur District is a former district of British India. It encompassed the western portion of present-day Amravati District in Maharashtra state. Ellichpur (Achalpur) was the administrative headquarters of the district.
Ellichpur District had an area of 6,747 km² with a population of 315,616 in 1891, which was reduced to 297,403 in 1901 owing to the 1899–1900 famine.[1]
