Yan Nawa or Yannawa (Thai: ยานนาวา, pronounced [jāːn nāːwāː]) is one of the 50 districts (khet) of Bangkok, Thailand.

Yan Nawa, in the past, was called Ban Thawai (Tavoy village, บ้านทะวาย)[2] or Ban Khok Khwai (water buffalo pen village, บ้านคอกควาย) due to a large concentration of Tavoy people who often brought water buffaloes to market for trade.

On 9 November 1989 parts of Yan Nawa were split off to form two new districts, Sathon and Bang Kho Laem.

In the past, the waters of the Chao Phraya River at Yan Nawa were influenced by rising sea level.

The large one, such as giant river prawn usually hid in nipa palm roots, could be cooked as a meat dish and even dessert.
