Trịnh Doanh (4 December 1720 – 15 February 1767) ruled northern Vietnam (Tonkin) from 1740 to 1767 (he ruled with the title Minh Đô Vương).

This was a time of increasing peasant revolts in both the north and the south under the Nguyễn lords.

In the north, some of the revolts were apparently led by members of the royal Lê family.

Princes belonging to the royal family, generals, civil mandarins, common people, and out-casts from the hills, all rose in the provinces against the tyranny of the Trịnh, as well as for their personal interests.
