Khwao Sinarin (Thai: เขวาสินรินทร์) is a district (Amphoe) of Surin Province, northeastern Thailand.

The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 15, 1996 with area split from Mueang Surin 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) Chom Phra, Sikhoraphum and Mueang Surin.

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 58 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
