Nong Bua (Thai: หนองบัว) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Nakhon Sawan Province, northern Thailand.

The government separated some tambons of the districts Chum Saeng, Tha Tako and Bang Mun Nak of Phichit Province to create the minor district (King Amphoe) Nong Bua on January 1, 1948. It was upgraded to a full district on June 6, 1956.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bang Mun Nak and Dong Charoen of Phichit Province, Chon Daen and Bueng Sam Phan of Phetchabun Province, and Phaisali, Tha Tako and Chum Saeng of Nakhon Sawan Province.

The district is subdivided into 9 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 105 villages (muban). Nong Bua is a township (thesaban tambon) covering parts of the tambon Nong Bua and Nong Klap. There are further 9 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
