Luang Pho Nhong Indasuvanno (Thai: หลวงพ่อโหน่ง อินฺทสุวณฺโณ; 1865 – 25 December 1934) was a Thai Buddhist monk and former abbot of Wat Khlong Madan in Suphan Buri Province. ^{[1] [2][3]}

Luang Pho Nhong was born in 1865 (BE 2408), during the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV), in Ban Tan Subdistrict, Song Phi Nong District, Suphan Buri Province. He was the son of Mr. To and Mrs. Choi, and had nine siblings, being the second child in the family.^[4]

He was ordained as a monk in 1889 (BE 2432) at Wat Song Phi Nong. His preceptor was Phra Ajahn Chan of Wat Thung Khok, while Phra Ajahn Dit and Phra Athikan Sut served as his kammavācācariya and anusasana teachers, respectively. From the time of his ordination, he never ate meat.

After ordination, he spent two rains-retreats (vassa) at Wat Thung Khok, followed by seven at Wat Song Phi Nong. Thereafter, he resided permanently at Wat Mai Amphonwan (Wat Khlong Madan), where he later became abbot. He developed and expanded the temple, strengthening its religious and community role.

Luang Pho Nhong died on 25 December 1934 (BE 2477), during the reign of King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII), at the age of 69, having spent 45 rains-retreats as a monk.^[5]
