'''Demmin''' ({{IPA|de|dɛˈmiːn}}) is a former ''Kreis'' (district) in [[Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania]], [[Germany]]. It was bounded by (from the south and clockwise) the districts of [[Müritz (district)|Müritz]], [[Güstrow (district)|Güstrow]], [[Nordvorpommern]], [[Ostvorpommern]] and [[Mecklenburg-Strelitz (district)|Mecklenburg-Strelitz]].
