Po Phaok The (?–1835), also known as Po Phaok or Cei Phaok The, was the last ruler of Champa from 1828 to 1832. His Vietnamese name was Nguyễn Văn Thừa (阮文承). He lived at a time when the Vietnamese monarch strove to centralize the country, which led to the demise of Champa (in Vietnamese, the Principality of Thuận Thành) as a vassal polity. The ruler himself was deposed and ended his life a victim of the suspicions of Emperor Minh Mạng.
