Wangdue Phodrang District (Dzongkha: དབང་འདུས་ཕོ་བྲང་རྫོང་ཁག་; Wylie: Dbang-'dus Pho-brang rdzong-khag; previously spelled "Wangdi Phodrang") is a dzongkhag (district) of central Bhutan.
This is also the name of the dzong (built in 1638) which dominates the district, and the name of the small market town outside the gates of the dzong — it is the capital (dzongkhag thromde) of Wangdue Phodrang District).
The name is said to have been given by the Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, who was searching for the best location for a dzong to prevent incursions from the south.
The word "wangdue" means "unification of Country", and "Phodrang" means "Palace" in Dzongkha.
Wangdue Phodrang is the second largest dzongkhag in Bhutan and is bordered by Dagana and Tsirang dzongkhags to the south, Tongsa dzongkhag to the east, Thimphu and Punakha dzongkhag to the west, and Gasa dzongkhag and a small section of border with Tibet to the north.
It is listed as a tentative site in Bhutan's Tentative List for UNESCO inclusion.
