Nong Na Kham (Thai: หนองนาคำ, pronounced [nɔ̌ːŋ nāː kʰām]) is a district (Amphoe) of Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand.

The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on April 30, 1994 by splitting it from Phu Wiang district. It includes the Baan Non Nok Tha (TH: บ้านโนนนกทา) (E 102°18'17" N 16°47'57"), and Ban Na Di (TH: บ้านนาดี) (E 102°18'04" N 16°48'02") Prehistoric Thailand archaeological sites.

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Si Bun Rueang and Non Sang of Nongbua Lamphu Province, Phu Wiang, Wiang Kao and Si Chomphu of Khon Kaen Province.

The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 34 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and further 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
