Pira Sudham (born 1942, Thai พีระ สุธรรม) is a writer from the Isan region of Thailand. He was born to a family of poor farmers in Napo, Buriram province. At the age of fourteen he was sent to Bangkok to study, where he lived as a dek wat (a boy who lives in a temple and assists monks). He later went on to study at Chulalongkorn University, Auckland University and then Victoria University of Wellington.

His works include:

• Siamese Drama or Tales of Thailand (1983)
• People of Esarn (1987)
• Monsoon Country (1988)
• The Force of Karma (2002)

As well as drawing on his own life, these works deal with the characters and circumstances of his fellow villagers.
