Pho Prathap Chang (Thai: โพธิ์ประทับช้าง) is a district (Amphoe) in the western part of Phichit Province, northern Thailand.

The government split off some part of Mueang Phichit and Pho Thale districts and formed the new Pho Prathap Chang minor district (King Amphoe) on June 24, 1967. It was upgraded to be full district on September 1, 1973.

The district was named after the temple (Wat) Pho Prathap Chang, which was built in 1701 by King Suea (Tiger King, Sanpet VIII) of Ayutthaya at his birthplace. Long abandoned the ruins still show the original splendor.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Sam Ngam, Mueang Phichit, Taphan Hin, Bueng Na Rang of Phichit Province and Bueng Samakkhi of Kamphaeng Phet Province.

The important water resource is the Yom River.

The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 99 villages (muban). Pho Prathap Chang is a township (thesaban tambon) and covers parts of the tambon Pho Prathap Chang, Phai Tha Pho and Wang Chik. There are further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
