DÃÂ°ÃÂ¡ng NgÃ¡ÂºÂ¡n ÃÂÃ¡Â»Âch (, , , ?–1688) was a Chinese exile and seafarer who migrated to ÃÂÃ¡ÂºÂ¡i ViÃ¡Â»Ât in the late 17th century.

DÃÂ°ÃÂ¡ng NgÃ¡ÂºÂ¡n ÃÂÃ¡Â»Âch was a general of Ming China, native to Guangdong, and swore allegiance to Koxinga. His position was Chief Commander of Longmen (Ã©Â¾ÂÃ©ÂÂÃ§Â¸Â½Ã¥ÂÂµ, a place in modern Qinzhou, Guangxi). In 1679, after the Revolt of the Three Feudatories was put down by the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty, he led 3,000 soldiers and 50 ships that came to ÃÂÃÂ NÃ¡ÂºÂµng together with HoÃÂ ng TiÃ¡ÂºÂ¿n (Ã©Â»ÂÃ©ÂÂ²), TrÃ¡ÂºÂ§n ThÃÂ°Ã¡Â»Â£ng XuyÃÂªn and TrÃ¡ÂºÂ§n An BÃÂ¬nh (Ã©ÂÂ³Ã¥Â®ÂÃ¥Â¹Â³), and "surrendered" to NguyÃ¡Â»Ân PhÃÂºc TÃ¡ÂºÂ§n (although there is scholarly consensus that PhÃÂºc TÃ¡ÂºÂ§n had little choice in the matter).

DÃÂ°ÃÂ¡ng NgÃ¡ÂºÂ¡n ÃÂÃ¡Â»Âch and HoÃÂ ng TiÃ¡ÂºÂ¿n were sponsored to MÃ¡Â»Â¹ Tho by PhÃÂºc TÃ¡ÂºÂ§n, where ÃÂÃ¡Â»Âch served as chief of a small Chinese community. ÃÂÃ¡Â»Âch was murdered by his assistant HoÃÂ ng TiÃ¡ÂºÂ¿n in 1688. TiÃ¡ÂºÂ¿n then revolted against the new NguyÃ¡Â»Ân lord, NguyÃ¡Â»Ân PhÃÂºc ThÃÂ¡i, but was eventually put down.
