The National Library of Thailand (Thai: หอสมุดแห่งชาติ) is the legal depositary and copyright library for Thailand.

It operates under the jurisdiction of the Fine Arts Department of the Ministry of Culture in Bangkok, Thailand.[2]

As of 2013, the library in Bangkok housed over three million items and had 11 provincial branches. Its budget was 87 million baht and it employed about 200 staff.[3]
