Tha Phra (Thai: ท่าพระ, pronounced [tʰâː pʰráʔ]; Northeastern Thai: ท่าพระ, pronounced [tʰāː pʰàʔ]) is a tambon (subdistrict) in Mueang Khon Kaen District, Khon Kaen Province, northeast Thailand (Isan).
Tha Phra's prosperity began around 1921–28 when the railway arrived here, an extension from neighbour Ban Phai District.
Most of the shops are in the form of wooden shophouses along Charoen Phanit Road or locally known as "Talat Rot Fai" (ตลาดรถไฟ, "railway market").
Tha Phra has a total area of approximately 55.5 square kilometers or 34,687.5 rai.
