Renu Nakhon (Thai: เรณูนคร) is a district (Amphoe) of Nakhon Phanom Province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Mueang Nakhon Phanom, That Phanom, Na Kae and Pla Pak.
Renu Nakhon was a Mueang which was converted into a district of Nakhon Phanom during the thesaphiban administrative reforms in 1907. In 1917 the district was renamed to That Phanom.
