Empress Thừa Thiên (Vietnamese: Thừa Thiên Cao Hoàng Hậu chữ Hán: 承天高皇后, 1762–1814), born Tống Thị Lan(宋氏蘭), was the first wife of Nguyễn Phúc Ánh (future Emperor Gia Long) and mother of Crown Prince Nguyễn Phúc Cảnh.

She was a daughter of general Tống Phước Khuông of Nguyễn lords. Nguyễn Ánh married her when he was at the age of 18. Empress Thừa Thiên had two sons with Gia Long: Nguyen Phuc Chieu (who died after several days) and Nguyễn Phúc Cảnh.

After her death, she was given the title of empress and buried at Gia Long's Thiên Thọ tomb.
