Akat Amnuai (Thai: อากาศอำนวย) is a district (amphoe) of Sakon Nakhon Province, northeast Thailand.

The minor district (king amphoe) Akat Amnuai was created on 15 May 1963, when the four tambon Akat, Wa Yai, Phon Phaeng and Phon Ngam were split off from Wanon Niwat District. On 27 July 1965 it was upgraded to a full district.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Seka of Bueng Kan Province, Na Thom, Si Songkhram, and Na Wa of Nakhon Phanom Province, and Phanna Nikhom, Wanon Niwat, and Kham Ta Kla of Sakon Nakhon Province.

The district is divided into eight sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 92 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Akat Amnuai covers parts of the tambon Akat. There are a further eight tambon administrative organizations.
