Champasri (Thai: จัมปาศรี) was an ancient settlement located in Ku Santarat Subdistrict, Na Dun district, Maha Sarakham, northeastern Thailand.

Later in 2006, an excavation by the Faculty of Architecture, Urban Design and Creative Arts [th] of Mahasarakham University discovered 25 ancient sites scattered throughout the city, for example, Sala Nang Khao (ศาลานางขาว), Ku Noi (กู่น้อย), Ku Santrat (กู่สันตรัตน์), and a stupa containing the relics of the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.
