Si Songkhram (Thai: ศรีสงคราม, in Thai pronounced as /sǐː sōŋ.kʰrāːm/) is a district (amphoe) in Nakhon Phanom province in northeast Thailand.

The district is named after its main river, the Songkhram River.

On 1 April 1926, it was split off as the minor district (king amphoe) Akat Amnui (อากาศอำนวย), the present day Akat Amnui District in neighboring Sakon Nakhon was also originally controlled from Tha Uthen.
