Wat Pathum Khongkha Ratchaworawihan, simply known as Wat Pathum Khongkha (Thai: วัดปทุมคงคาราชวรวิหาร, วัดปทุมคงคา), is a second-class royal temple in the Talat Noi area of Bangkok's Chinatown, in Thailand.

The temple dates to the Ayutthaya period, when it was called Wat Sampheng, from its location in Sampheng.[1] Prince Maha Sura Singhanat, younger brother of King Rama I of the Rattanakosin period, renovated the temple, renaming it Wat Pathum Khongkha.[1]
