Lê Trung Tông (chữ Hán: 黎中宗, 1535 – 24 January 1556), birth name Lê Huyên (黎暄), posthumously known as Vũ Hoàng đế, was the 13th emperor of the Later Lê Dynasty, reigned from 1548 to 1556. He succeeded Lê Trang Tông (1533–1548) and was succeeded by Lê Anh Tông (1556–1573). The emperor ruled in name only however, as the Trịnh lords monopolized the royal court while the Mạc dynasty ruled in the far north and the Nguyễn lords seized control of the southern part of Vietnam up to Thanh Hoa.
