Tron (Thai: ตรอน, pronounced [trɔ̄ːn]) is a district (amphoe) of Uttaradit province, northern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Laplae, Mueang Uttaradit, Thong Saen Khan, Phichai, of Uttaradit Province, Si Nakhon and Si Satchanalai of Sukhothai province
The Northern Chronicle describes a journey from Chiang Saen to Phitsanulok by way of Nan, on which the travellers crossed a river it calls the Tromtanim before reaching the Kaeo Noi. Phiset Jiajanphong identified the first as Khlong Tron, which runs through the district and joins the Nan from the east, and the second as the Khwae Noi. He noted that the names as the chronicle gives them are corrupt.: 34–35
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 47 villages (mubans). There are two sub-district municipalities (thesaban tambon): Tron covers parts of tambon Wang Daeng, and Ban Kaeng covers parts of the same-named tambon. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
