Abaí (Guarani: ''Ava'i'' ) is a district of Caazapá, Paraguay. It is the biggest district of the department and one of the country's biggest agricultural zones.

It is divided by the Caazapá Range into two zones: the low zone in which most companies are, and the high zone where the biggest-producing company in the district, Tupã Renda, is located.
