Sa Kaeo (Thai สระแก้ว) is a province (changwat) of Thailand. It is located in the east of Thailand. To the east it borders Banteay Meanchey and Battambang of Cambodia.

Sa Kaeo became a province in 1993, when the Amphoe Sakaeo together with Amphoe Wang Nam Yen from Prachin Buri were elevated to provincial status. It is thus one of the three youngest provinces of Thailand, together with Amnat Charoen and Nong Bua Lam Phu.

The north of the province is covered with the forested mountains of the Dong Phaya Yen range. To the south are foothill plains, which are mostly deforestated.

Two national parks are located in the Cardamom Mountains at the border to Cambodia, protecting the rain forests. Pang Sida National Park was established in 1982, Ta Phraya National Park in 1996.

The provincial seal shows the sun rising over the archeological ruins Prasart Kao Noi Si Chom Poo, an important Khmer temple. The rising sun symbolizes the location of the province in the east. In the front is a Buddha image in a pond with lotus flowers.
Provincial tree is Phyllonthus emblica, the provincial flower is the Orange Jessamine (Murraya paniculata).

Sa Kaeo is subdivided into 7 districts (Amphoe) and 2 minor districts (King Amphoe). The districts are further subdivided into 59 communes (tambon) and 619 villages (muban).
