Bang Pa-in (Thai: บางปะอิน; IPA: [bāːŋ pāʔīn]) is one of the 16 districts (amphoe) of Ayutthaya Province, central Thailand.
Bang Pa-in was established in the Ayutthaya era in the name Khwaeng U Thai. In Rattanakosin era Khwaeng U Thai was divided to be Khwaeng U Thai Noi and U Thai Yai. In 1910 Khwaeng U Thai Noi was changed status and renamed to Phra Ratchawang District. The district name was changed again to Bang Pa-in after the name of Bang Pa-in island in 1915.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Uthai and Wang Noi of Ayutthaya Province, Khlong Luang of Pathum Thani Province, and Bang Sai of Ayutthaya again.
The district is divided into 18 sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 149 villages (muban). There are nine municipal (thesaban) areas, and nine tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
