Kapong (Thai: กะปง, pronounced [kā.pōŋ]) is a district (amphoe) in Phang Nga province in south Thailand.

The canal and its surrounding areas retain much of their natural characteristics, with sections encompassing both forested and cultivated land.

In earlier times, it served as a trading post, frequented by Indian traders, indicating its significance in regional commerce.

The district is the setting for the semi-autobiographical short stories of Ajin Panjapan about the four years, from 1949–1953, he worked there on a tin mining dredge.

The stories were converted to film in the 2005 Thai movie, The Tin Mine (Maha'lai muang rae), directed by Jira Maligool.
