Si Nakhon (Thai: ศรีนคร, pronounced [sǐː ná(ʔ).kʰɔ̄ːn]) is a district (amphoe) of Sukhothai province, in the lower northern region of Thailand. It may also be spelled Sri Nakhon. The Thai name comes from Sanskrit language sri (an honorific prefix; rendered si in Thai) and nagar (city; rendered nakhon in Thai), making the name a cognate with Srinagar in India.
