Makham (Thai: มะขาม) is a district (Amphoe) in the central part of Chanthaburi Province, eastern Thailand.
The district was established in 1899, then named Tha Luang district. It dates back to an ancient Khmer city, which was under Thai rule since the Ayutthaya era.
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Mueang Chanthaburi, Khao Khitchakut, Pong Nam Ron and Khlung of Chanthaburi Province.
The important water resource is the Chanthaburi River.
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 56 villages (muban). Makham is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Makham. There are further 6 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
