Nong Song Hong (Thai: หนองสองห้อง, pronounced [nɔ̌ːŋ sɔ̌ːŋ hɔ̂ŋ]) is a district (Amphoe) in the southern part of Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Phon, Non Sila, Ban Phai and Pueai Noi of Khon Kaen Province, Na Chueak of Maha Sarakham Province, Na Pho, Phutthaisong and Ban Mai Chaiyaphot of Buriram Province, and Prathai of Nakhon Ratchasima Province.

The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on January 1, 1962, when the four tambon Takua Pa, Nong Mek, Non That and Khuemchat were split off from Phon district. It was upgraded to a full district on July 16, 1963.

The district is subdivided into 12 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 135 villages (muban). Nong Song Hong is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Nong Song Hong. There are further 12 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
