Ban Dan (Thai: บ้านด่าน, pronounced [bâːn dàːn]) is a district (amphoe) of Buriram Province, northeastern Thailand.

The minor district (king amphoe) Ban Dan was created on 15 July 1996 by splitting four tambon from Mueang Buriram District.

On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts. With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Khaen Dong, Satuek, Huai Rat, Mueang Buriram and Khu Mueang.

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and a further four tambon administrative organizations.
