Trần Cảo (chữ Hán: 陳暠, ?–1428) was briefly king of Vietnam 1426–1428.

He was installed by Le Loi under the terms of a Ming dynasty Chinese withdrawal which promised to withdraw if a Trần dynasty descendant was placed on the throne.

However, after Le Loi intercepted a Chinese general's requests for reinforcements he resumed the war, defeated the Chinese and made Trần Cảo drink poison.
