Sakhrai (Thai: สระใคร) is a district (Amphoe) of Nong Khai Province, northeastern Thailand.

The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Mueang Nong Khai district on April 30, 1994.

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.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Tha Bo and Mueang Nong Khai of Nong Khai Province, and Phen and Ban Phue of Udon Thani Province.

The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) area, and further 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
