Ton Duc Thang 1888-1980, Vietnamese politician. He was an early supporter of Ho Chi Minh and was imprisoned (1929-45) by the French colonial regime. After Vietnamese independence, he rose quickly in the North Vietnamese Communist party.

After 1976, Ton was president of the newly reunited Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
