Chao Phraya Bodindecha (13 January 1776 – 24 June 1849), personal name Sing Sinhaseni (สิงห์ สิงหเสนี), was a prominent military figure of the early Rattanakosin Kingdom period during the reign of King Rama III. Bodindecha held the post of Samuha Nayok (สมุหนายก), the Prime Minister of Northern Siam, from 1827 to 1849. He was known for his leading role in suppressing the Laotian Rebellion of King Anouvong of Vientiane (กบฏเจ้าอนุวงศ์). He also played major roles in the Siamese-Vietnamese Wars, including the 1831–1834 and 1841–1845 campaigns (อานัมสยามยุทธ). His descendants bear the surname Sinhaseni (สิงหเสนี).
