Mueang Boran Non Mueang or Non Mueang Ancient Town (Thai: เมืองโบราณโนนเมือง) was a moated ancient settlement in Chum Phae, Khon Kaen, northeastern Thailand. It was first inhabited around the 8th century BCE and evolved into a complex society in the 7th century during the Dvaravati period, then was abandoned around the 12th century.

Non Mueang was a supra-regional center of the Dvaravati civilization, together with Si Thep, Champasri, Mueang Fa Daet Song Yang, Dong Mueang Aem, and others, but little known about its political structure.:152 It could have previously been the center of an ancient kingdom.:151–52

Non Mueang has been listed as an ancient site of Khon Kaen Province since it was discovered in 1970.
