Bangkwang (Thai บางขวาง) is a jail in Bangkok, Thailand. Also known as: "Bangkok Hilton" or "Big Tiger". Possibly one of the scariest jails in the world, to which many drug traffickers are sentenced.

A 1989 Australian television mini-series called Bangkok Hilton depicted life inside the prison. It starred Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving and Denholm Elliott.
