Khok Pho Chai (Thai: โคกโพธิ์ไชย, pronounced [kʰôːk pʰōː t͡ɕʰāj]) is a district (Amphoe) of Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on April 30, 1994 by splitting it from Mancha Khiri district.
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Mancha Khiri, Chonnabot and Waeng Yai of Khon Kaen Province, and Khon Sawan and Kaeng Khro of Chaiyaphum Province.
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 40 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Ban Khok covers parts of the tambon Ban Khok. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
