Lê Hiển Tông (黎顯宗 1717–1786), born Lê Duy Hiệu, was the second-last emperor of Vietnamese Lê Dynasty. He reigned from 1740 to 1786 and was succeeded by his grandson Lê Duy Kỳ.
At the time Vietnam was under the power of the Trịnh lords. Trịnh Giang ruled 1729–40 with the title Uy Nam Vương during the reign of Lê Thuần Tông (1732–35) and Lê Ý Tông (1735–40) but was deposed due to poor leadership. Trịnh Doanh ruled 1740–67 with the title Minh Do Vương, ruling in the first part of the reign of Lê Hiển Tông. He was followed by Trịnh Sâm, who ruled 1767–82 with the title Tinh Do Vương. At this point the Lê dynasty began to regain its power.
