Khao Wong (Thai: เขาวง) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Kalasin Province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Kuchinarai and Na Khu of Kalasin Province, Dong Luang and Khamcha-i of Mukdahan Province.
The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 June 1969, when the five tambon Khum Kao, Song Plueai, Na Khu, Phu Laen Chang, and Nong Phue were split off from Kuchinarai district. It was upgraded to a full district on 1 April 1974.
The district is subdivided into six subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (muban). Kut Sim is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Khum Kao, Kut Sim Khum Mai and the whole tambon Kut Pla Khao. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
Missing numbers are tambon which now form Na Khu district.
