Nong Chang (Thai: หนองฉาง, in Thai pronounced as /nɔ̌ːŋ t͡ɕʰǎːŋ/) is a district (amphoe) of Uthai Thani province, northern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Huai Khot, Lan Sak, Thap Than, Nong Khayang of Uthai Thani Province and Nong Mamong of Chai Nat province.
In 1917 the district was renamed from Uthai Kao (อุทัยเก่า) to Nong Chang.[1]
The district is divided into 10 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 96 villages (mubans). There are two sub-district municipalities (thesaban tambon) in the district: Khao Bang Kraek covers tambon Khao Bang Kraek, and Nong Chang covers parts of tambon Nong Chang and Nong Suang.
