Huỳnh Tấn Phát (1913 near Mỹ Tho, French Indochina – September 30, 1989, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) was a South Vietnamese politician and revolutionary. He joined the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1945. He became chairman of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam (PRG) on its formation in 1969. Upon the surrender of the South Vietnamese government on April 30, 1975, the PRG became the nominal government of South Vietnam. He held this post until July 2, 1976, when the country was reunified with the North, making him the only communist South Vietnamese president. In 1976-82 he was a vice premier in Vietnam, and in 1982 he became a Vice President of the Council of State.
