Po Phaok The (?–1835), also known as Po Phaok[1] 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.
