Đặng Thị Huệ (died 1784), was the favorite consort of Trịnh Sâm. She acted as a regent for one month after Trịnh Sâm died in 1782. According to histories she used to pick tea-leaves, but gained favour with Trịnh Sâm and was made senior concubine with the title Tuyên phi or Consort Tuyên, the highest rank of the Lord's wife.
