Mueang Kanchanaburi (Thai: เมืองกาญจนบุรี) is the capital district (Amphoe Mueang) of Kanchanaburi Province, central Thailand.

Mueang Kanchanaburi was changed status to be the capital district (Amphoe Mueang) of Kanchanaburi province in 1913.

The old district office was located at Lak Mueang Road, Tambon Ban Nuea. It was moved to Sang Chuto Road, Tambon Pak Phraek on October 1st, 1954.

Neighboring are (from west clockwise) Tanintharyi Division of Myanmar, Sai Yok, Si Sawat, Bo Phloi, Tha Muang, Dan Makham Tia of Kanchanaburi Province and Suan Phueng of Ratchaburi Province.

The important water resource are the Khwae Noi, Khwae Yai and Mae Klong rivers.

The district is subdivided into 13 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 100 villages (muban). Additional to the town (thesaban mueang) Kanchanaburi there are further 3 townships (thesaban tambon) - Kaeng Sian, Nong Bua and Lat Ya each covering parts of the same-named tambon.
