Bua Lai (Thai: บัวลาย) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.
The area of Bua Lai was separated from Bua Yai district and made a minor district (King Amphoe) on July 1, 1997. Most of the people of Bua Lai originally migrated there from Maha Sarakham and Roi Et Province.
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) Waeng Noi and Phon of Khon Kaen Province, and Prathai, Sida and Bua Yai.
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon). The township (thesaban tambon) Nong Bua Lai covers parts of the tambon Bua Lai.
