'''Nong Chok''' ({{langx|th|หนองจอก}}, {{IPA|th|nɔ̌ːŋ t͡ɕɔ̀ːk|pron}}) is one of the [[Districts of Bangkok|50 districts]] (''khet'') of [[Bangkok]], [[Thailand]]. It is bounded by other districts (from north clockwise): [[Amphoe Lam Luk Ka]] of [[Pathum Thani province]], [[Amphoe Bang Nam Priao]] and [[Amphoe Mueang Chachoengsao]] of [[Chachoengsao province]], [[Lat Krabang]], [[Min Buri]] and [[Khlong Sam Wa]] of [[Bangkok]]. It is the biggest, easternmost and the most sparsely populated district of Bangkok.

==History==
The district was established as an [[amphoe]] in 1897 during the reign of King [[Chulalongkorn]]. The original settlers were [[Muslim]]s relocated from southern Thailand. In 1902, it became an amphoe of the newly established [[Min Buri#History|Min Buri province]]. Due to economic hardship during 1930–31, Min Buri Province was disbanded in 1931 and Nong Chok was transferred to [[Chachoengsao province]].

District administration was later moved again to Bangkok in 1932 due to inconvenience of travel between Nong Chok and Chachoengsao. {{As of|2006}}, about 75% of the population were Muslims while 22% were Buddhists. The name ''Nong Chok'' means [[water lettuce]] (''[[Pistia]] stratiotes'') swamp.

==Administration==
The district is sub-divided into eight sub-districts (''[[khwaeng]]'').
