Nataphol Teepsuwan (Thai: ณัฏฐพล ทีปสุวรรณ, born 29 May 1966) is a Thai politician. He served as Minister of Education in the second cabinet of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha from 10 July 2019 until he was removed from office. In February 2021, he was found guilty of insurrection during protests that led to the 2014 coup d'état. He was released from prison on bail that same month, which stands in contrast to his sentence still standing at a prison term of seven years and four months.
