Tha Tako (Thai: ท่าตะโก) is a district (Amphoe) in the eastern part of Nakhon Sawan Province, northern Thailand.
The district was established at Ban Khao Noi, Tambon Tha Tako in 1900. At first there was confusion whether the name was Khao Noi or Don Kha. It got its official name Tha Tako in 1917.
In the past, the people in the district always visited a big river pier (in Thai Tha) to take a bath and give water to their cattle. At that pier several big Tako trees (Diospyros sp.) grew, so that pier was called Tha Tako.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Nong Bua, Phaisali, Tak Fa, Phayuha Khiri, Mueang Nakhon Sawan and Chum Saeng.
The district is subdivided into 10 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 109 villages (muban). Tha Tako is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Tha Tako. There are further 10 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
