Lohit is an administrative district in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The district headquarters are located at Tezu. This area was one of the last territories to be brought under British control after the punitive Mishmi expedition in the first decade of the 20th Century, and was known earlier as the Mishmi hills. The district is named after the Lohit River from the Sanskrit Louhitya, reddish- or rust-coloured, and consists of the river valley and hills/mountains to the North and South.

Lohit is the home of the Zekhring, Khampti, Deori, Singpho and Mishmi tribes. A small group of Tibetan refugees have settled in Lohit since the 1960s. The Zekhring are Tibetan Buddhists; the Khampti and Singpho are Theravada Buddhists, and the Mishmi are mainly Animists.
