Lakhimpur is an administrative district in the Indian state of Assam. The regional headquarters are located in North Lakhimpur.

Islamic rule gradually spread to this far-flung and ruthless tract. In the 14th century, several fortifications were built along the northern border, preventing invasions from Nepal.
