Sao Chingcha (Thai: เสาชิงช้า, pronounced [sǎw t͡ɕʰīŋ.t͡ɕʰáː] pronunciationⓘ) is one of the twelve khwaeng (subdistricts) of Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok.

It was built in the early Rattanakosin era, after the establishment of Bangkok as the new capital by King Rama I, only two years.

Sao Chingcha was created to perform a Hindu ritual known as "Triyampawai", believed to welcome Mahesh (Shiva) and Narayana (Vishnu) to visit the human world.

After the Siamese revolution in 1932, this ritual were reduced in importance, which was held for the last time in 1934 during King Rama VII's reign.

Sao Chingcha has only moved slightly from its original location, and until 2024 it had been major renovated four times, most recently in 2006, when both pillars were completely replaced with wood transported from Den Chai District, Phrae Province.
