Samrong (Thai: สำโรง) is a district (Amphoe) in the western part of Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district (King Amphoe) Samrong was created on April 15, 1985, when the six tambon Samrong, Khok Kong, Nong Hai, Kho Noi, Non Ka Len and Khok Sawang were split off from Warin Chamrap district. It was upgraded to a full district on May 9, 1992.
