Letnan Jenderal Tôn Thất Đính (20 November 1926 – 21 November 2013^[1]) adalah seorang perwira yang bertugas dalam Tentara Republik Vietnam (ARVN). Ia dikenal sebagai salah satu tokoh utama dalam kudeta November 1963 yang berujung pada pembunuhan Ngô Đình Diệm, presiden Republik Vietnam (Vietnam Selatan) pertama.

Menyenangkan hati keluarga pemerintahan Ngô, Đính cepat meraih jabatan-jabatan tinggi yang dianggap lebih mumpuni.^[2] Ia pindah ke Katolik Roma dalam rangka menyenangkan hati Diệm,^[3] dan mengepalai sayap militer partai Cần Lao, sebuah organisasi Katolik rahasia yang mengurusi kekuasaan keluarga Ngô.^[2][4] Pada usia 32 tahun, Đính menjadi jenderal ARVN termuda dan komandan Korps II, tetapi ia dianggap figur berbahaya, egotistikal, dan bernafsu karena suka minum-minum dan berpesta.^{[2][3][5][6][7][8][9]}
