Prince Huy (also H'ui, Brhat Chao ; * 1780 in Champasak , † 1840 in Himlot , Champasak ) was Prince Governor ( Chao Mueang Nakhon Champasakti ) of the Siamese-controlled empire of Champasak between 1827 and 1840 .

Prince ( Brhat Chao ) Huy was a son of the Maha Uparat of Champasak, Unga (O), who served as a vassal of Siam between 1778 and 1781 , but was eventually murdered by the Siamese under King Taksin .
