Trần Quý Cáp (chữ Hán: 陳季恰, 1870–1908), born Trần Nghị, courtesy name Dã Hàng, Thích Phu, pen name Thai Xuyên, was a Vietnamese notable poet and anti-colonialist. He was one among several leading scholars in the Duy Tân Movement [vi] including Phan Chu Trinh, and Huỳnh Thúc Kháng.[1][2][unreliable source?]

In the anti tax-collection case in Trung Kỳ in 1908, he was arrested by the French colonialists and sentenced to death by waist cutting even though the authorities had no evidence.[3]
