Nong Hin (Thai: หนองหิน; IPA: [nɔ̌ːŋ hǐn]) is a district (amphoe) of Loei Province, northeastern Thailand.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Wang Saphung, Pha Khao, Phu Kradueng and Phu Luang.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 1 1997 with territory split off from Phu Kradueng[1].
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts[2]. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official [3].
The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 34 villages (muban). Nong Hin is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Nong Hin. There are further 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
