Mueang Pan (Thai: เมืองปาน; IPA: [mɯ̄aŋ pāːn]) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Lampang Province, northern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Wiang Pa Pao of Chiang Rai Province, Wang Nuea, Chae Hom and Mueang Lampang of Lampang Province, and Mae On and Doi Saket of Chiang Mai Province.
The Phi Pan Nam Mountains dominate the landscape of the district.
The minor district (King Amphoe) Mueang Pan was established on July 15, 1981, when the four tambon Mueang Pan, Chae Son, Ban Kho and Thung Kwao were split off from Chae Hom. On May 9, 1992 it was upgraded to a full district.
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 53 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
