Tha Mai (Thai: ท่าใหม่) is a district (Amphoe) of Chanthaburi Province, eastern Thailand.
The district was created in 1900, then named Khamong (โขมง). 4 years later the district office was moved to the area of Wat Khao Phloi Waen, and the district name was changed accordingly to Phloi Waen. When in 1917 the office was moved to Tambon Tha Mai, the district name was changed to be same as the central tambon.
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Na Yai Am, Kaeng Hang Maeo, Khao Khitchakut, Mueang Chanthaburi and Laem Sing of Chanthaburi Province. To the southwest is the Gulf of Thailand.
The district is subdivided into 14 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 124 villages (muban). There are three townships (thesaban tambon) - Tha Mai covers the whole tambon Tha Mai and Yai Ra, Noen Sung covers parts of tambon Khao Wua and Khao Baisi, and Nong Khla covers parts of Thung Bencha. There are further 12 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
