Tống Duy Tân (宋維新, 1838 - 1892), courtesy name Cơ Mệnh, was a Vietnamese revolutionary who led insurgent armies in Thanh Hóa Province of northern Vietnam as part of the Cần Vương movement that sought to install the boy Emperor Hàm Nghi as the leader of an independent Vietnam.

[2][3] Tống Duy Tân was born in 1838, under the reign of King Minh Mạng, in Đông Biện village, Bồng Thượng canton (now is Bồng Trung village, Vĩnh Tân commune) of Vĩnh Lộc district, Thanh Hóa province.

[4] After two years served as a prefect, the Sơn Tây mandarins proposed to the court to promote him to the position of Án sát (Surveillance Commissioner), but the situation was troubled at that time, after the 2nd French invasion, Huế court was divided into war faction and peace faction ... Tống refused to work as a mandarin, asked to go back to his hometown to open a school.

Later, Regent Tôn Thất Thuyết - the top leader of the war faction knew that Tống was a patriot who had a good reputation, so he appointed Tống to Đốc học (Education Commissioner), then Chánh sứ Sơn phòng (Chief of Mountain warfare force) of Thanh Hóa province, to prepare the French resistance.

[3] Temples and tomb of Tống Duy Tân in his hometown of Vĩnh Lộc and Thanh Hóa city have both been ranked as a national historical and cultural relic.
