Nong Suea (Thai: หนองเสือ, pronounced [nɔ̌ːŋ sɯ̌a̯]) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Pathum Thani province, central Thailand.
In the district area there is a pond, which in the past was visited by tigers from the mountains of neighboring Saraburi and Nakhon Nayok to drink water. So the people in the district named the pond Nong Suea.
