Klaeng (Thai: แกลง) is a district (Amphoe) in the eastern part of Rayong Province, eastern Thailand.
In the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), Mueang Klaeng was the 4th class city under Monthon Chanthaburi. The old Mueang office was located in Ban Laem Mueang, Tambon Paknam Prasae. In 1897 the office was moved to Ban Pho Thong, at the northern side of Wat Pho Thong. In 1908 Mueang Klaeng was downgraded to a district of Rayong Province.
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Mueang Rayong, Wang Chan, Khao Chamao, Kaeng Hang Maeo and Na Yai Am of Chanthaburi Province. To the south is the Gulf of Thailand.
The district is subdivided into 15 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 145 villages (muban). Klaeng is a town (thesaban mueang) which covers parts of the tambon Thang Kwian and Wang Wa. There are further 4 townships (thesaban tambon) - Kong Din covers parts of tambon Kong Din, Thung Khwai Kin parts of tambon Thung Khwai Kin and Khlong Pun, Pak Nam Prasae parts of tambon Pak Nam Krasae, and Sunthorn Phu the whole tambon Kram and Chak Phong. There are also 15 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
