Phrom Khiri (Thai: พรหมคีรี, pronounced [pʰrōm kʰīː.rīː]) is a district (amphoe) of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, southern Thailand.
On 26 August 1974 the minor district (king amphoe) Phrom Khiri was formed with the three tambon Phrom Lok, Ban Ko and In Khiri split from Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat District. On 13 July 1981 it was upgraded to a full district.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Nopphitam, Tha Sala, Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat, Lan Saka and Phipun.
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Phrom Lok covers parts of the tambon Phrom Lok and Ban Ko, and Thon Hong part of the same-named tambon. Each of the tambon has its non-municipal area administered by a tambon administrative organization (TAO).
