Pakxan (; (, ) is a district and town in Bolikhamsai Province, Laos.
==History== Pakxan was founded in the 19th century. The Pakxan region had experienced insecurity since the invasion by Annam in 1834, followed by invasions by the Siamese, and Siamese sovereignty over Laos in 1836, and especially after 1865 with the invasions of Haws or "red flags", gangs from southern China. These invasions began to reduce the populations of Xieng Khouang and Bolikhamsai, and it was the Siamese who completed the depopulation by deporting most of the Phou Eun inhabiting the region.
