Crown Prince Vajirunhis (Thai: สมเด็จพระบรมโอรสาธิราช เจ้าฟ้ามหาวชิรุณหิศ สยามมกุฎราชกุมาร, 1878- January 4, 1895) was the first Crown Prince of the Chakri Dynasty. He was the first son of King Chulalongkorn and Queen Savang Vadhana.
In 1886, after the death of the last vice-king, King Chulalongkorn chose not to appoint one of his brothers as a new vice-king, but instead appointed his eldest son as the Crown Prince of Siam. On 14 January 1886 he was officially introduced to his position. However he died of typhoid at age 17, long before he could reach the throne. King Chulalongkorn's second son, Vajiravudh was then named crown prince, and succeeded him as Rama VI in 1910.
