Sdok Kok Thom (, Sadok Kok Thom, ; , ), or Sdok Kak Thom, is an 11th-century Angkorian temple in present-day Thailand, located about northeast of the Thai border town of Aranyaprathet. The temple is in Khok Sung District, Sa Kaeo Province, near the village of Ban Nong Samet. It is regarded as the largest Angkorian temple in eastern Thailand. The temple was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Constructed by a prominent priestly family, Sdok Kok Thom is best known as the original site of one of the most illuminating inscription left behind by the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of Southeast Asia from the end of the 9th century to the 15th century.
