Ban Bueng (Thai: บ้านบึง; IPA: [bâːn bɯ̄ŋ]) is a district (amphoe) of Chonburi Province, Thailand.

The district is located in the center of Chonburi Province in the Khao Khiao Massif area.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Phan Thong, Phanat Nikhom, Bo Thong, Nong Yai, Si Racha and Mueang Chonburi.

The district was created in 1921 as a minor district (king amphoe). 1938 it was elevated to full district status.

The district is subdivided into 8 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 52 villages (muban). Ban Bueng itself has town (thesaban mueang) status and covers parts of tambon Ban Bueng. Nong Phai Kaeo and Khlong Kio each have township (thesaban tambon) status, both townships covering parts of the same-named tambon.
