Rattanawapi (Thai: รัตนวาปี) is a district (Amphoe) of Nong Khai Province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Pak Khat and So Phisai of Bueng Kan Province, Fao Rai and Phon Phisai of Nong Khai Province, and Bolikhamxai Province of Laos.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Phon Phisai district on April 1, 1995.
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 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 61 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
