Ban Phaeng (Thai: บ้านแพง) is a district (Amphoe) in the province Nakhon Phanom in the northeast of Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Tha Uthen, Si Songkhram and Na Thom of Nakhon Phanom Province, and Bueng Khong Long of Bueng Kan Province. To the east across the Mekong river is the Laotian province Khammouan.
Originally the area belonged to the Mueang Chaiburi, now part of the Tha Uthen district.
The minor district (King amphoe) was established in 1948 by splitting it from Tha Uthen district. In 1956 it was elevated to full district status.
1956 the sanitary district (sukhaphiban) Ban Phaeng was established, which was upgraded to a subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) in 1999.
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 75 villages (muban). Ban Phaeng itself has subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) status and covers part of the tambon Ban Phaeng. There are further 5 tambon Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
Missing number are tambon which now form Na Thom district.
