Bang Ban ({{Langx|th|บางบาล}}, {{IPA|th|bāːŋ bāːn|pron}}) is a district (amphoe) of Ayutthaya province, in central Thailand.

History

The district was originally created in 1894 as Sena Nai District, with its district office in Sai Noi Sub-district. Later Mr Khiao Bangban (นายเขียว บางบาล) donated a piece of land for the building of the new district office in Bang Ban Sub-district. So the government agreed to change the district name to the donor's family name, which became effective in 1917.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=34|issue=ก|pages=40–68|title=ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง เปลี่ยนชื่ออำเภอ|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2460/A/40.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111107143904/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2460/A/40.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 7, 2011|date=1917-04-29|language=Thai}}
