Kong Ra (Thai: กงหรา, pronounced [kōŋ rǎː]) is a district (Amphoe) of Phatthalung Province, southern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Srinagarindra, Mueang Phatthalung, Khao Chaison and Tamot of Phatthalung Province, Palian and Yan Ta Khao of Trang Province.

The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on October 1, 1975, when the three tambon Kong Ra, Khlong Chaloem and Charat were split off from Mueang Phatthalung district. It was upgraded to a full district on July 13, 1981.

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 45 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
