Suriyothai (, , ; ) was a royal queen consort during the 16th century Ayutthaya period of Siam (now Thailand). She is famous for having given up her life in the defense of her husband, King Maha Chakkraphat, in a battle during the Burmese–Siamese War (1547–1549).

== Name and title == Somdet Phra () and Sri (), pronounced and often transcribed as Si, are her honorifics. Her given name Suriyothai () means "dawn". It is a compound of Suriya, from Sanskrit sūrya (सूर्य, "sun"), and Uthai, from the Sanskrit word udaya (उदय, "rising").
