Ang Vong Vathana (Khmer: អង្គ វង្សវឌ្ឍនា) is a Cambodian politician. He was the Minister of Justice[1][2] from 2004 to 2020.[3]

In 2016, he became the sole Cambodian to be named in the Panama Papers leak, which uncovered he was a shareholder in the offshore venture RCD International which dissolved in 2010; the findings prompted calls for an corruption investigation into Vong Vathana.[4][5][6]
