Mueang Kalasin (Thai: เมืองกาฬสินธุ์, pronounced [mɯ̄a̯ŋ kāː.lā.sǐn]) is the capital district (amphoe mueang) of Kalasin Province, northeastern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Sahatsakhan, Somdet, Na Mon, Don Chan, Kamalasai, Khong Chai, Yang Talat, and Nong Kung Si of Kalasin Province.

In 1913 the district was renamed from Uthai Kalasin to Mueang Kalasin.

The district is divided into 17 sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 180 villages (muban). The town (thesaban mueang) covers the whole tambon Kalasin. There are three townships (thesaban tambon): Nong So covers tambon Lam Pao and parts of Lamkhlong; Na Chan covers tambon Na Chan and parts of Phai and Phu Po; and Huai Pho covers tambon Huai Pho. There are a further 16 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

Missing numbers are tambon which now form Don Chan District.
