The Thap Po Rome is a Shiva temple in Phuoc Huu district of Ninh Thuan province, Viet Nam. It sits atop a hill, midst forests. Along with Hoa Lai temple and Po Klong Garai temple, it is a well preserved brick temple in Ninh Thuan province. This makes the temple important as most historic Cham temples were badly damaged by the trophy theft during the colonial era and then the Vietnam war.

The temple is named after and is associated with king Po Rome of Panduranga region. It has a square plan with a developed Cham architecture. The temple is notable for including reliefs of king Po Rome and his wife Po Bia Sancan. The complex has another tower, traditionally associated with Queen Pra Sucih. The temple shows Hindu gods and goddesses, with prominence to Shiva and Nandi.
