Ongkharak, Administrative district in Nakhon Nayok Province, Thailand.

The district of Ongkharak encompasses eleven sub-districts and 116 villages, with a central administrative office located near the Saovabha Market complex.

The district office relocated in 1889 during the construction of Rangsit Canal, initiated by King Chulalongkorn to enhance water management in the region.

The name Ongkharak derives from a royal guard memorial, representing the district's connection to Thailand's monarchical traditions and local heritage.

The district maintains eleven tambon administrative organizations that coordinate local services, infrastructure development, and community programs for residents.

The Srinakharinwirot University campus in Ongkharak stands at four meters above sea level, between the Nakhon Nayok River and Khlong Rangsit waterways.
