Kaeng Hang Maeo (Thai: แก่งหางแมว, pronounced [kɛ̀ŋ hǎːŋ mɛ̄ːw]) is the northwesternmost district (amphoe) of Chanthaburi Province, eastern Thailand.

The minor district (king amphoe) Kaeng Hang Maeo was established on 1 April 1990 by splitting off five tambon from Tha Mai district. It was upgraded to a full district on 8 September 1992.
