La-un (Thai: ละอุ่น) is a district (Amphoe) of Ranong Province, southern Thailand.
In 1932 the minor district (King Amphoe) was established as a subordinate of Mueang Ranong district. On June 28, 1973, it was upgraded to a full district. In 1996, a new district office was built.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Kra Buri of Ranong Province, Sawi, Lang Suan and Phato of Chumphon Province, and Mueang Ranong of Ranong again. To the west across the estuary of the Kraburi River is the Tanintharyi Division of Myanmar.
The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 35 villages (muban). La-un itself is a township (thesaban tambon) and covers parts of the tambon La-un Tai and Bang Phra Tai. There are further 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
