Pho Tak (Thai: โพธิ์ตาก) is a district (Amphoe) of Nong Khai Province, northeastern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Sangkhom, Si Chiang Mai and Tha Bo of Nong Khai Province, and Ban Phue of Udon Thani Province.

The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on July 1, 1997 by splitting off the three tambon Pho Tak, Phon Thong and Dan Si Suk from Si Chiang Mai district.

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.

The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 27 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
