Trương Như Tảng (14 November 1923 – 8 November 2005) was a South Vietnamese lawyer and politician. He was active in many organizations opposed to the South Vietnamese government before joining the newly created Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam as the Minister of Justice. He spent many years in the jungles near and in Cambodia until the Fall of Saigon in 1975. He quickly became disillusioned with the new government and escaped the reunited Socialist Republic of Vietnam via a boat in August 1978. He was sent to a refugee camp in Indonesia before moving to Paris, France, to live out his life in exile.
