Chorakhe Bua (Thai: จรเข้บัว, pronounced [t͡ɕɔ̄ː.rā.kʰêː būa̯]) is a neighbourhood in east Bangkok. It roughly occupies the area of the khwaeng (subdistrict) of the same name in Lat Phrao district.
Originally, the area of Chorakhe Bua was very spacious. It covers parts of Bang Kapi, Bang Khen and Khan Na Yao Districts today. In 1997, two parts of Chorakhe Bua switched to Bang Khen District.
