Po Ladhuanpuguh (died 1799) was the ruler of Champa from 1793 to 1799. His Vietnamese name was Nguyễn Văn Hào (阮文豪).[1]

Po Ladhuanpuguh was an officer of Champa court. In 1790, the leader of the Nguyễn lords, Nguyễn Ánh retook Gia Định (present-day Ho Chi Minh City), Po Ladhuanpuguh and prince Po Krei Brei (Nguyễn Văn Chiêu) joined Nguyễn army. Po Ladhuanpuguh and Po Krei Brei were appointed co-rulers of Champa by Nguyễn Ánh; they were granted the title cai cơ and chưởng cơ respectively. Po Ladhuanpuguh was the military governor, while Po Krei Brei served as the civilian governor.[2] Since then, Champa was regarded as a province by Vietnam, instead of a country.[1]

The Nguyễn army captured Băl Canar (Phan Rí) in 1793. Po Ladhuanpuguh captured Po Tisuntiraidapuran and had him executed.[1] In the same year, Po Krei Brei was deposed. Po Ladhuanpuguh was promoted to chưởng cơ and became the sole ruler of Champa.[2]

A Malay nobleman Tuan Phaow revolted against the Nguyễn lords in 1796. Po Ladhuanpuguh helped put down the rebellion. The following year, Tuan Phaow was defeated and fled to Kelantan.[3] [4]

Po Ladhuanpuguh died in 1799.
