Na Kae (Thai: นาแก) is a district (Amphoe) in the province Nakhon Phanom in the northeast of Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Wang Yang, Pla Pak, Renu Nakhon and That Phanom of Nakhon Phanom Province, Dong Luang of Mukdahan Province, and Tao Ngoi and Khok Si Suphan of Sakon Nakhon Province.
The district goes back to Mueang Kabin (เมืองกบิล), which was deserted after it was invaded by an enemy army. It was later resettled by Lao people.
In 1917 the district was renamed from Nong Sun (หนองสูง) to Na Kae.
