Thai Charoen (Thai: ไทยเจริญ, pronounced [tʰāj t͡ɕā.rɤ̄ːn]) is a district of Yasothon Province in northeastern Thailand.

Thai Charoen, formerly a subdistrict (tambon) of Loeng Nok Tha, was established as a minor district (king amphoe) on April 1, 1992, comprising 5 subdistricts formerly of Loeng Nok Tha.

On October 11, 1997, Thai Charoen was raised to district (amphoe) status, becoming Yasothon's 9th and Thailand's 784th district.
