The Sakae Krang River (Thai: แม่น้ำสะแกกรัง, RTGSMaenam Sakae Krang, pronounced [mɛ̂ː.náːm sā.kɛ̄ː krāŋ]) is a tributary of the Chao Phraya River. It originates in Mae Wong National Park, Nakhon Sawan Province. It is 225 kilometres (140 mi) long, with most of its length in Uthai Thani Province. It joins the Chao Phraya River in Uthai Thani city near the Wat Tha Sung (Tha Sung Temple).

According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the people of Uthai Thani use the Sakae Krang River to grow pandanus and to raise fish in floating baskets, which is the primary occupation of the Uthai Thani people.[1]
