Kut Khaopun (Thai: กุดข้าวปุ้น, pronounced [kùt kʰâːw.pûn]) is a district (Amphoe) in the northern part of Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district (King Amphoe) Kut Khaopun was created on July 12, 1971, when the four tambon Khaopun, Ka Bin, Kaeng Kheng and Non Sawang were split off from Trakan Phuet Phon district. It was upgraded to a full district on March 25, 1979.
Neighboring districts are (from the northeast clockwise) Khemarat, Pho Sai, Trakan Phuet Phon of Ubon Ratchathani province and Pathum Ratchawongsa of Amnat Charoen province.
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 73 villages (muban). Kut Khaopun is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Khaopun. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
