Yang Talat (Thai: ยางตลาด) is a district (amphoe) in the western part of Kalasin Province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise) Huai Mek, Nong Kung Si, Mueang Kalasin, Khong Chai of Kalasin Province, Kantharawichai and Chiang Yuen of Maha Sarakham Province.
Originally named Pachim Kalasin (ปจิมกาฬสินธุ์), the district was renamed Phu Len Chang (ภูแล่นช้าง) in 1913. In 1917, it received its current name Yang Talat.
The district is subdivided into 15 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 207 villages (muban). There are six subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon) - Yang Talat covers parts of tambon Yang Talat, and Dok Si covers parts of tambon Dok Sombun and Um Mao. Bua Ban, Itue, Hua Na Kham and Khao Phra Non are further subdistrict municipalities which cover the whole same-named subdistrict. There are further 11 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
