Thep Sathit (Thai: เทพสถิต) is a district (Amphoe) in the southwestern part of Chaiyaphum Province, eastern Thailand.
In the past time, it was just a small community of ancient Mon people.
The minor district (King Amphoe) Thep Sathit was created with area from Bamnet Narong district on November 1 1976. November 1 1983 it was upgraded to a full district.
The western boundary of the district is formed by the steep Phang Hoei ridge, with its highest elevation at the Sut Phaen Din with 846m above sea level. To the east the terrain descends slowly towards the Khorat Plateau. The Pa Hin Ngam National Park, famous for its Siam Tulip fields, is located within the western hills of this district.

The district is subdivided into 5 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 84 villages (muban). Thep Sathit has township status (thesaban tambon) and covers part of the tambon Wa Tabaek. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
