The Tha Chin river (Thai: ท่าจีน) is a distributary of the Chao Phraya river, Thailand. It splits near the town Chainat and then flows westerly from the Chao Phraya through the central plain, until it mouths into the Gulf of Thailand at the town Samut Sakhon.

Actually, the river has many names. After it splits from Chao Phraya river at Chainat, it's called Makhamthao river, while passing Suphan Buri it is the Suphan river, while passing Nakhon Pathom it becomes the Nakhon Chaisi river and only near its mouth at Samut Sakhon it becomes the Tha Chin river, named after the old name of Samut Sakhon.
