Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti (born 29 April 2005; Thai: ทีปังกรรัศมีโชติ; Thai pronunciation: [tʰiː.paŋ.kɔːn.rát.sà.mǐː.tɕʰôːt]; rtgs: Thipangkon Ratsamichot), a member of the Royal Family of Thailand, is a grandson of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) of Thailand, and is the fifth son of Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn. His mother is Srirasmi Suwadee, the Crown Prince's third legal wife. The Crown Prince also has a daughter by his first wife, four sons and a daughter from his second wife, and a son by his fourth wife, all half-siblings of Dipangkorn.

The prince is styled as His Royal Highness. A royal ceremony, called Phra Ratchaphithi Somphot Duan Lae Khuen Phra U, to celebrate the first month of the prince was held on 17 June 2005 at Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall in Bangkok.

Prince Dipangkorn is the heir presumptive to his father and second in line to the Throne. However, because of Vajiralongkorn's December 2014 divorce from Srirasm, Dipangkorn position in the line of succession is uncertain. The 1924 Palace Law on Succession lists "the order in the line of succession", following the first-born son of the king and queen (i.e., the Crown Prince) to be "the first-born son of the said prince and his royal consort" followed by "younger sons, in order, of the said prince and his royal consort." When Vajiralongkorn ended his relationship with his second wife, he also disowned their four sons and said they had renounced their royal titles. However, the Royal Palace continues to recognize their right to use the style HSH, or His Serene Highness.[1]
