Sam Ngam (Thai: สามง่าม, pronounced [sǎːm ŋâːm]) is a district (amphoe) in the northwestern part of Phichit Province, northern Thailand.

Originally Sam Ngam was a tambon of Tha Luang District. On 1 March 1939 the government separated Tambon Sam Ngam, Rang Nok, Wang Chik, Phai Rop, Ban Na, Noen Po from Mueang Phichit District, Kamphaeng Din and Hat Kruat from Bang Krathum District, Phitsanulok Province to established the new district, Sam Ngam. Later in 1943 Tambon Wang Chik and Phai Rop were assigned to be part of Pho Prathap Chang District.

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Mueang Phichit, Pho Prathap Chang of Phichit Province, Bueng Samakkhi, Sai Thong Watthana, Sai Ngam of Kamphaeng Phet Province, Wachirabarami of Phichit Province again, Bang Rakam and Bang Krathum of Phitsanulok Province.

The district Sam Ngam is divided into five sub-districts (Tambon), which are further subdivided into 80 administrative villages (Muban).
