Phạm Thị Trân (926–976),[1] was a Vietnamese artist, dancer, opera singer and Mandarin during the Dinh Dynasty period.[2][1][3]

Originally from Hong Chau in what is now the Hai Hung province, she was eventually invited to the royal court of the king, Dinh Tien.[4] On the king's orders, she taught the arts to soldiers.[5]

She was a pioneer artist as an opera singer, and is referred to as the first professional theatre artist in Vietnam. Amongst her innovations, she is credited as the creator of cheo, which was a genre of popular theatre.[6][7] She is also counted as the first woman to have been made a Mandarin in Vietnam.
