The Boworadet Rebellion was an unsuccessful coup d'etat led by royalist Prince Boworadet in 1933, in consequence of the conflicts between the previous royalist regime and the succeeding constitutional regime following the Revolution in 1932.

The Boworadet revolt was eventually defeated by the Siamese Government. As a historical event it was seminal in the transformation of Thai politics and government.
