Re Phetracha, in thailandese สมเด็จพระเพทราชา (traslitterazione RTGS: Somdet Phra Phetracha) (Ban Phlu Luang, 1632 – Ayutthaya, 5 febbraio 1703), è stato dal 1688 al 1703 il ventinovesimo sovrano del Regno di Ayutthaya, fondato nel 1350 da Ramathibodi I nei territori dell'odierna Thailandia. Fu generale dell'esercito e quando il predecessore Narai fu sul letto di morte si pose a capo della rivoluzione del 1688 facendone uccidere gli eredi e il primo ministro Constantine Phaulkon, costringendo inoltre alla fuga i francesi, che erano stati per alcuni anni i principali alleati del Siam. Usurpò così il trono e fondò la dinastia Ban Phlu Luang, l'ultima del Regno di Ayutthaya. Fece sopprimere le varie ribellioni che scoppiarono nelle province durante il suo regno. La violenta usurpazione del trono fu forse la causa delle notizie, probabilmente distorte, riportate nelle antiche cronache di Thonburi e dei primi regni di Rattanakosin, secondo le quali molti monarchi della dinastia Ban Phlu Luang, tra cui lo stesso Phetracha, furono i responsabili della decadenza che causò la caduta di Ayutthaya nel 1767. Fu comunque la dinastia più longeva del regno.
