Ku Kaeo (Thai: กู่แก้ว) is a district (amphoe) in central Udon Thani Province, northeastern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Nong Han, Chai Wan, Si That, Kumphawapi, and Prachaksinlapakhom.

The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 30 April 1994 by splitting it from Nong Han District.

Following a decision of the Thai government on 15 May 2007, all of the 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 four sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 37 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
