Mueang Boran Non Mueang or Non Mueang Ancient Town (Thai: เมืองโบราณโนนเมือง) was a moated ancient settlement in Chum Phae, Khon Kaen, northeastern Thailand. It was first inhabited around the 8th century BCE and evolved into a complex society in the 7th century during the Dvaravati period, then was abandoned around the 12th century.
Non Mueang was a supra-regional center of the Dvaravati civilization, together with Si Thep, Champasri, Mueang Fa Daet Song Yang, Dong Mueang Aem, and others, but little known about its political structure. It could have previously been the center of an ancient kingdom.
Non Mueang has been listed as an ancient site of Khon Kaen Province since it was discovered in 1970.
