Prinya Thaewanarumitkul (Thai: ปริญญา เทวานฤมิตรกุล; rtgs: Parinya Thewanaruemitkun) is a Thai legal scholar specialising in public law. He is a Vice Rector for Administration and Sustainability at Thammasat University.

During the 1992 protests against the military-led government that led to Bloody May, Prinya was Secretary-General of the Student Federation of Thailand. He was a student at Thammasat University at the time. Prinya later finished a M.Jus and a Ph.D. in public law from the University of Göttingen.

Prinya currently lectures in constitutional law and is Assistant Rector for Student Affairs at Thammasat University.

Along with his colleague Banjerd Singkaneti, Prinya was a leader of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD, or "Yellow Shirts"), a group active in 2006 in bringing down the government of Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. He has made several suggestions regarding the content of Thailand's post-coup constitution. In October 2008, he distanced himself from the PAD, stating that neither the "Yellow Shirts" nor their rivals, the "Red Shirts", would advance the interest of Thailand's poor.
