Yuenyong Opakul (born 9 November 1954), known professionally as Aed Carabao, is a Thai musician, activist, and entrepreneur. He is best known as the lead vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter, and a founding member of the Thai rock band Carabao.

In October 2022, the governor of Suphan Buri province filed a defamation complaint with the Royal Thai Police after Yuenyong publicly criticised him for not inviting the musician to perform at an annual provincial fair in his hometown. Yuenyong later issued an apology.
