At Samat (Thai: อาจสามารถ, in Thai pronounced as /ʔàːt sǎː.mâːt/) is a district (amphoe) of Roi Et province, Thailand.

In January 2006 Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra chose At Samat as the model district for his poverty eradication program. He visited the district and led a five-day workshop. The event was shown as a reality TV show named Backstage: The Prime Minister.
The At Samat District is divided into 10 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 139 administrative villages (mubans).
