Chuen Chom (Thai: ชื่นชม) is a district (Amphoe) in the north of Maha Sarakham Province, northeastern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Chiang Yuen of Maha Sarakham Province, Sam Sung and Kranuan of Khon Kaen Province, Huai Mek and Yang Talat of Kalasin Province.

The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Chiang Yuen district on July 1, 1997.

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.

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 47 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
