Singhanakhon (Thai: สิงหนคร, pronounced [sǐŋ.hàʔ.náʔ.kʰɔ̄ːn]) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Songkhla province, southern Thailand.

The district is between Thale Luang and Songkhla Lake.
The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 15 February 1988, when 11 tambons were split off from Mueang Songkhla district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 19 July 1991.[2]
The district is divided into 11 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 77 villages (mubans). Singhanakhon is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambons Ching Kho and Thamnop and tambon Hua Khao and Sathing Mo. There are a further nine tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
