Ko Chan ( _th. เกาะจันทร์) is a district ("Amphoe") in the province Chonburi, Thailand.

History

The minor district was created on July 1 1997 by splitting the eastern part off from Phanat Nikhom district.

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