Henry Van Thio (Burmese: ဟင်နရီဗန်ထီးယူ; MLCTS: hang na.ri banhti: yu; born 9 August 1958) is a Burmese politician who was the second vice president of Myanmar from 30 March 2016 to 22 April 2024. He previously served as a member of Amyotha Hluttaw (House of Nationalities). In the 2015 election, he contested and won the Chin State No. 3 constituency for a seat in the country's upper house.
After the February 2021 coup d'état, Van Thio was believed to have been placed under house arrest by the military junta whilst continuing to be recognized as vice president. Van Thio was announced by the junta to have resigned as vice president for "health reasons" on 22 April 2024.
