Lak Si (Template:Lang-th, pronounced [làk sìː]) is one of the 50 districts (khet) of Bangkok, Thailand. It is bounded by (from north clockwise): Don Mueang, Bang Khen and Chatuchak of Bangkok; Amphoe Mueang and Amphoe Pak Kret of Nonthaburi Province.

Lak Si became a district on 21 November 1997, separating from Don Mueang district.
