Chey Chettha I (Khmer: ព្រះបាទជ័យជេដ្ឋាទី១, Jayajeṭṭhā I; 1575–1595) was a king of Cambodia who ruled from 1584 to 1595.

History

Chey Chettha was the second son of Satha I. He was appointed as heir apparent when he was eleven.[citation needed] He was crowned by his father in 1584.[1]

In 1594, Cambodia was attacked by Siam. After the Siamese army reached Lovek, Chey Chettha assumed his uncle Soryopor the direct command of the defenses.[2]

Chey Chetta fled the capital with his father, Satha, first to Srey Santhor, then to Stung Treng. He died there in 1595 without an heir.[citation needed]
