Ban Dan (th|บ้านด่าน, pronounced as /th/) is a district (amphoe) of Buriram province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) Ban Dan was created on 15 July 1996 by splitting four tambons from Mueang Buriram district.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Khaen Dong, Satuek, Huai Rat, Mueang Buriram and Khu Mueang.
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations.
