Soi Dao (Thai: สอยดาว, pronounced [sɔ̌j dāːw]) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Chanthaburi Province, eastern Thailand.
The government created the minor district (king amphoe) Soi Dao on 1 January 1988, by splitting off five tambon from Pong Nam Ron district. It was upgraded to be full district on 9 May 1992.
