Bueng Na Rang (Thai: บึงนาราง) is a district (Amphoe) in the western part of Phichit Province, northern Thailand.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Pho Prathap Chang, Taphan Hin and Pho Thale of Phichit Province, Banphot Phisai of Nakhon Sawan Province and Bueng Samakkhi of Kamphaeng Phet Province.
