Athittayawong (, ) was the shortest-reigning monarch of Ayutthaya, ruling for about 36 days in 1629 and often regarded as the last king of the Sukhothai dynasty.

Prince Athittayawong was a son of King Songtham. In 1629, following a coup led by Okya Siworawong (), Athittayawong was removed from the throne, paving the way for Prasat Thong's accession.
