Non Sila (Thai: โนนศิลา, pronounced [nōːn sì.lāː]) is a district (Amphoe) of Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand.

The minor district was established on July 15, 1996 by splitting it Ban Phai 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) Ban Phai, Nong Song Hong, Phon and Chonnabot.

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 45 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Non Sila covers parts of the tambon Non Sila and Ban Han. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO), the non-municipal area of tambon Non Sila is administrated by a Tambon administration (TA).
