Minjarna Shenkora (Amharic: ምንጃርና ሸንኮራ, lit. 'Minjar and Shenkora'), also Menjarna Shenkora is a district in the Amhara Region, Ethiopia. It is named in part after the historic Shewan district of Minjar, which was the southernmost district of Shewa and near the location of the modern woreda.[3] Located at the southern end of the Semien Shewa Zone, Minjarna Shenkora is bordered on the east, south and west by the Oromia Region, on the northwest by Hagere Mariamna Kesem, and on the northeast by Berehet; the Germama (or Kesem) river forms the boundary between this woreda and Hagere Mariamna Kesem and Berehet. The administrative center of this woreda is Arerti; other towns in the woreda include Balchi and Eranbuti.
This woreda is served by the Addis Ababa - Djibouti Railway with a station at Malka Jilo. It is the only woreda in the Amhara Region with a train station.
