Khao Khitchakut (Thai: เขาคิชฌกูฏ, pronounced [kʰǎw kʰít.t͡ɕʰā.kùːt]) is a district (amphoe) in the central part of Chanthaburi province, eastern Thailand.

History

The area was separated from Makham district and created as a minor district (king amphoe) on 1 July 1993.

On 15 May 2007 it was upgraded to a full district. With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August, the upgrade became official.
