Wihan Daeng (Thai: วิหารแดง) is a district (Amphoe) in southern part of Saraburi Province, central Thailand.
Tambon Nong Moo of Nong Khae district was separated to create the minor district (King Amphoe) Nong Moo in 1937. The district office was moved to Ban Lam on Suwannason road in 1957. The minor district was upgraded tom a full district and renamed to Wihan Daeng on April 12th, 1961.
The word Wihan Daeng comes from the Buddhism Red Wihara of Lawa people in Ban Lam area, which was built by red bricks. However, nowadays no Red Wihara exists anymore.
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Nong Khae, Mueang Saraburi, Kaeng Khoi of Saraburi Province, Ban Na of Nakhon Nayok Province, and Nong Suea of Pathum Thani Province.
The district is subdivided into 6 communes (tambon).
