Phu Pha Man (Thai: ภูผาม่าน, in Thai pronounced as /pʰūː pʰǎː mâːn/) is the northwesternmost district (amphoe) of Khon Kaen province, northeastern Thailand.

The district was established as a minor district (king amphoe) on 15 July 1981 with the two tambons Non Don and Na Fai split off from Chum Phae district.[1] The administration started operation on 1 September 1981, and on 1 October 1981 the district office building was opened. On 4 July 1994 the minor district was upgraded to a full district.[2]
