Nong Ki (Thai: หนองกี่, pronounced [nɔ̌ːŋ kìː]) is the westernmost district (amphoe) of Buriram Province, northeastern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the northeast clockwise) Nong Hong, Chamni, Nang Rong, Non Suwan of Buriram Province, Soeng Sang, Khon Buri, and Nong Bun Mak of Nakhon Ratchasima Province.

The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 March 1974, when the three tambon Nong Ki, Yoei Prasat, and Mueang Phai were split off from Nang Rong District. It was upgraded to a full district on 12 April 1977.

The district is divided into 10 sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 123 villages (muban). Nong Ki is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Nong Ki, Thung Kratat Phatthana, and Thung Kraten. There are also 10 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
