Wichian Buri (Thai: วิเชียรบุรี) is a district (Amphoe) in southern part of Phetchabun Province, northern Thailand.
In the past the area of Wichian Buri was administrated by the Mueang Tha Rong. King Rama III upgraded status of Tha Rong city by gathering Bua Chum and Chai Badan and changed the city name to be Wichian Buri. When King Rama V created Monthon Phetchabun, Wichian Buri became a subordinate of Phetchabun in 1898. The name of the district was changed to be Tha Rong by the law on April 17th, 1939, but changed back to Wichian Buri in 1944.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bueng Sam Phan of Phetchabun Province, Phakdi Chumphon and Thep Sathit of Chaiyaphum Province, Si Thep of Phetchabun again, and Phaisali of Nakhon Sawan Province.
The district is subdivided into 14 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 177 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Whichian Buri covers parts of the tambon Tha Rong and Sa Pradu, and Phu Toei covers parts of the tambon Phu Thoei. There are further 14 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
