Saenphu (; ) was the 3rd monarch of Lan Na and the founder of Chiang Saen.

== King of Lan Na == Saenphu was originally titled "Thao Saenphu" before ascending to the throne. He was the eldest son of Chaiyasongkhram, the Phraya in Chiang Rai. His father crowned him as the Phraya in Chiang Mai on 15 May 1318, following the death of Mangrai. However, upon learning of this, Khun Khreu, the ruler of Muang Nai, launched an attack and successfully seized Chiang Mai. Saenphu was forced to flee to Chiang Rai and seek refuge with his father.
