Eichst�tt is a district in Bavaria, Germany. It is bounded by (from the south and clockwise) the districts of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen[?], Donau-Ries, Wei�enburg-Gunzenhausen[?], Roth[?], Neumarkt[?], Kelheim[?] and Pfaffenhofen[?], and by the city of Ingolstadt.

The district of Eichst�tt in its present form was established in 1972 by merging the former district of Eichst�tt with parts of the dissolved districts of Ingolstadt, Beilngries, Riedenburg and Hilpoltstein. The city of Eichst�tt lost its status as a district-free city and became the capital of the new district.
The district is located in the southern part of the Frankish Alb. 80 % of the district are situated in the Altm�hltal Nature Park. In the southeast the Danube forms a short part of the border.
