Nam Khun ( _th. น้ำขุ่น) is a district ("Amphoe") in the southwestern part of Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand.

The name of the district translates to "muddy water".

History

The area of Nam Khun was originally part of Nam Yuen district. The government created the minor district ("King Amphoe") on July 15 1996.

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.
