Nguyễn Phúc Nguyên (阮福源; 16 August 1563 – 19 November 1635), temple name Nguyễn Hy Tông, was the second of the Nguyễn lords, ruling all of southern Vietnam from 1613 to 1635. During his time in office, the Nguyễn lords established a settlement in what is now modern-day Saigon. Later, his refusal to pay tribute to the Trinh lord court sparked the Trịnh–Nguyễn War.
