Kham Thale So (in Thai pronounced as /kʰǎːm tʰā.lēː sɔ̌ː/) is a district (amphoe) of Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeastern Thailand.
The government separated some parts of Non Thai and Sung Noen districts and created the minor district (king amphoe) Kham Thale So in 1958, which was upgraded to a full district in 1965.
Neighbouring districts are (from the north clockwise) Non Thai, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima, Sung Noen, and Dan Khun Thot.
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons). Kham Thale So is also a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Kham Thale So.
