Thung Fon (Thai: ทุ่งฝน) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Udon Thani Province, northeastern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Nong Han, Phibun Rak, Ban Dung of Udon Thani Province, Phon Phisai and Sawang Daen Din of Sakon Nakhon Province.

The minor district (king amphoe) Thung Fon was created on 1 July 1976, when the tambon Thung Fon and Thung Yai were split off from Nong Han District. It was upgraded to a full district on 21 May 1990.

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 36 villages (muban). Thung Fon is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Thung Fon. There are further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
