Nong Don (Thai: หนองโดน) is a district (Amphoe) in the northwestern part of Saraburi Province in central Thailand.
10 km from Bang Khamoad (today's Ban Mo district) there is a big pond. The west side of the pond has a big Tummy-wood tree (Careya sphaerica Roxb.) or in Thai Kradon (ต้นกระโดน). The people from Dong Noi and Kokko and Mueang Lop Buri moved to here and established the village Ban Nong Kradon. When the village grew bigger and bigger, then the government finally created the separate district Nong Don.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Mueang Lop Buri of Lopburi Province, Phra Phutthabat, Ban Mo and Don Phut of Saraburi Province.
The district is subdivided into 4 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 34 villages (muban). Nong Don has township (thesaban tambon) status and covers 1.94 km² of tambon Nong Don. There are three Tambon administrative organizations (TAO) - the one of Ban Klab is also responsible for tambon Ban Prong.
