Tô Ngọc Vân (蘇玉雲,[1] 15 December 1906 or 1908 – 17 June 1954), also known as Tô Tử, was a Vietnamese painter. Several of his paintings are being displayed at the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts.[2][3] He taught a resistance art class in the northern zone during the war with the French, and died as the result of injuries received at the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ.[4] He was among the first recipients of the Ho Chi Minh Prize in 1996.
