Po Klan Thu (died 1828) was the ruler of Champa from 1822 to 1828.[1] His Vietnamese name was Nguyễn Văn Vĩnh (阮文永).

In 1807, Po Klan Thu was appointed as the viceroy, or the deputy ruler of Champa.[2] Champa ruler Po Saong Nyung Ceng (Nguyễn Văn Chấn) died in 1822. Lê Văn Duyệt, the viceroy of Cochinchina, proposed to let Po Phaok The (Nguyễn Văn Thừa) succeed; however, Emperor Minh Mạng wanted Bait Lan be the new ruler. At such a sensitive time, Ja Lidong revolted. Reluctantly, Minh Mạng installed Po Klan Thu as the new ruler and sent him back to Champa.[3] Po Phaok Thu was appointed as his viceroy, or the deputy ruler.[2]

Po Klan Thu put down the rebellion of Kai Nduai Bait in 1826.[1] He died in 1828.[3]
