Khúc Thừa Mỹ (chữ Hán: 曲承美; pinyin: Qū Chéngměi; governed: 918–923 or 918–930) was a self-declared jiedushi of northern Vietnam under China's Later Liang. He succeeded his father Khúc Hạo and tried to maintain northern Vietnam's autonomy. But the new emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty invaded in 930, capturing the capital Đại La (Hanoi) with no resistance, and Khúc Thừa Mỹ was taken to Canton, where he was placed under comfortable house arrest. The Chinese domination of Vietnam was thereby reestablished.
