David de Mayrena (born January 1842 in Toulon, died 1890 near Singapore) was an eccentric French adventurer who crowned himself Marie Ier, King of the Sedang tribe, located in northern Central Highlands of Vietnam (now southern Vietnam), after negotiating treaties with tribal authorities. French writer and statesman André Malraux started an unpublished novel about Mayrena while Malraux' friend and character in La Condition Humaine, Baron de Clappique, wrote a movie script about him (in Anti-mémoires by André Malraux).
