Ajahn Fuang Jotiko (1915[1] – 14 May 1986[2][better source needed][3]) was a Thai Buddhist monk and abbott in the Thai Forest Tradition of Theravada Buddhism.[4]

Fuang was a student of Ajahn Lee[5][6] at Wat Asokaram, a monastery near Bangkok. After Ajahn Lee's death in 1961, Fuang continued at Wat Asokaram where he was expected to become abbott.[7][better source needed] However, in 1965 Fuang left to pursue greater solitude which he felt would improve his meditation practice. About 1971,[7][better source needed] Fuang moved to Wat Dhammasathit in Rayong Province, where he lived as abbot until his death in 1986.[8] Fuang's students included American monk Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu,[9][5][6] who studied with him for ten years.[10]
