Chanathip Songkrasin (Thai: ชนาธิป สรงกระสินธ์, pronounced [t͡ɕʰā.nāː.tʰíp sǒŋ.krā.sǐn]; born 5 October 1993), is a Thai professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Thai League 1 club BG Pathum United.

Chanathip is known to be one of the best footballers in Southeast Asia. His style of play as a diminutive, left-footed dribbler, drew career-long comparisons with Lionel Messi, earning him the nickname the 'Thai Messi'.
