Bang Pakong (Thai: บางปะกง) is a district (amphoe) in the western part of Chachoengsao Province in central Thailand.
Bang Pakong District's name comes from the Bang Pakong River. The area has many industrial estates, including the huge gas- and oil-fired Bang Pakong Power Station.
Bang Pakong District was established in 1907. The first temporary district office was a building within the Wat Bon Khongkharam. In 1908 the government moved the office to the bank of the Bang Pakong River in Tambon Tha Sa-an, which is still the location today.
