Uthumphon (; ) Maha Thammarachathirat III or Uthumphon Mahaphon Phinit (; c. 1733– 1796) was the 32nd and penultimate monarch of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, ruling in 1758 for about three months. Facing various throne claimants, Uthumphon was finally forced to abdicate and enter monkhood. His preference of being a monk rather than keeping the throne earned him the epithet "Khun Luang Ha Wat" (), or "the king who lives in the temple".
