Nakhon Luang ({{Langx|th|นครหลวง}}, {{IPA|th|ná(ʔ).kʰɔ̄ːn lǔaŋ|pron}}) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Ayutthaya province, central Thailand.

History

The district was originally part of Nakhon Luang Noi district (now named Bang Pahan), and was established as a separate district in 1895.

In 1903 the district office was moved into Nakhon Luang Sub-district, and therefore the district was renamed from Nakhon Klang to Nakhon Luang.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=20|issue=22|pages=352–353|script-title=th:แจ้งความกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง เปลี่ยนนามอำเภอนครกลาง เป็นอำเภอนครหลวง|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2446/022/352_2.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609235219/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2446/022/352_2.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 9, 2012|date=1903-08-30|language=Thai}}
