Tha Phae (Thai: ท่าแพ) is a district (Amphoe) of Satun Province, southern Thailand.

The minor district (King Amphoe) Tha Phae was established on May 1, 1976 with the two southwestern tambon Tha Phae and Pae Ra of the district Khuan Kalong. It was upgraded to a full district on July 4, 1994.

Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise) La-ngu, Khuan Kalong, Khuan Don and Mueang Satun. To the southwest is the Andaman Sea.

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 28 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
