Suchinda Kraprayoon (Thai: สุจินดา คราประยูร, RTGS: Suchinda Khraprayun; 6 August 1933 – 10 June 2025) was a Thai military officer and politician who was the 19th prime minister of Thailand for several weeks in 1992. As the commander-in-chief of the Royal Thai Army (1990–1992), Suchinda led the 1991 Thai coup d'état in February and was a member of the junta called "National Peace Keeping Council". A year after the coup on 7 April 1992, he was appointed prime minister. This sparked mass protests that were violently suppressed during Black May which finally led to his resignation on 24 May 1992.
