Phra Tabong Province or Preah Dambong Province (Thai: จังหวัดพระตะบอง) (Khmer: ខេត្តព្រះដំបង) was a province of Cambodia under the rule of Thailand's Government of Sir Luang Phibun Songkhram of Thailand between 1941 and 1946, following Thailand's annexation of Battambang, which had previously been under Thai rule from 1794 to 1907, as a result of the Franco-Thai war during World War II. The province was dissolved and returned to Cambodia in 1946. The area is now in Battambang Province.
