Ajahn Fuang Jotiko (1915^[5] – 14 May 1986^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]) was a Thai Buddhist monk and abbot in the Thai Forest Tradition of Theravada Buddhism.^[10]

Fuang was a student of Ajahn Lee^[11]^[12] at Wat Asokaram, a monastery near Bangkok. After Ajahn Lee's death in 1961, Fuang continued at Wat Asokaram where he was expected to become abbot.^[13]^{[better source needed]} However, in 1965 Fuang left to pursue greater solitude which he felt would improve his meditation practice. About 1971,^[13]^{[better source needed]} Fuang moved to Wat Thamma Sathit in Rayong Province, where he lived as abbot until his death in 1986.^[14] Fuang's students included American monk Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu,^[15]^[11]^[12] who studied with him for ten years.^[16]
