Dong Charoen (Thai: ดงเจริญ) is a district (amphoe) in the southeastern part of Phichit Province, northern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Bang Mun Nak and Thap Khlo of Phichit Province, Chon Daen of Phetchabun Province and Nong Bua of Nakhon Sawan Province.

The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 15 July 1996 by splitting off fivetambon from Bang Mun Nak District.

Following a decision of the Thai government 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 .

The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Samnak Khun Nen covers parts of the tambon Samnak Khun Nen. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
