Ban Lueam (Thai: บ้านเหลื่อม) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.
The name Lueam comes from the Ma Lueam tree (Canarium subulatum Guill.). In the past, a big tree of this kind was the landmark of the village.
Tambon Ban Lueam, Wang Pho and Khok Krabueang were separated from Khong district to create a minor district (King Amphoe) on October 18, 1976. It was officially upgraded to a full district on January 1, 1988.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Kaeng Sanam Nang, Bua Yai and Khong of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, and Noen Sa-nga and Mueang Chaiyaphum of Chaiyaphum Province.
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (muban). Ban Lueam is also a subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) covering parts of the tambon Ban Lueam and Wang Pho. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
