Soulivong Savang (Lao: ສຸລິວົງ ສະຫວ່າງ; born 8 May 1963) is a grandson of the last King of Laos Sisavang Vatthana and the current heir to the Lao throne following the death of his father Vong Savang.
Laos was a monarchy until 1975, when the communist Pathet Lao seized control of the nation, causing Sisavang Vatthana to abdicate his throne. He was imprisoned and died at an uncertain time in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Soulivong Savang lives in exile in Paris.
