Lý Anh Tông (1136–1175), given name Lý Thiên Tộ (), was the sixth emperor of the Lý Dynasty, reigning over Đại Việt from 1138 to his death in 1175. Since Lý Anh Tông was chosen as the successor of his father Lý Thần Tông at the age of only two, the early period of his reign witnessed the dominant position of Đỗ Anh Vũ in the royal court until his death in 1157, afterwards the Emperor ruled the country with the assistance of a prominent official named Tô Hiến Thành. The ruling of Lý Anh Tông was considered the last relatively stable period of the Lý Dynasty before the turbulent time during the reign of Lý Cao Tông.
Anh Tông was born in the third month in Lunar calendar of 1136 as Lý Thiên Tộ, the first son of the emperor Lý Thần Tông and Empress Lê Thị. Initially Lý Thiên Tộ was not chosen as crown prince of the Lý Dynasty because his father preferred Lý Thiên Lộc who was the son of his favourite concubine and born four years earlier, in 1132. In the ninth month of 1138, the ill emperor decided to make Lý Thiên Tộ his successor and downgrade Lý Thiên Lộc to Prince Minh Đạo (Vietnamese: Minh Đạo vương) after a campaign launched by three other concubines of the Emperor, Ladies Cảm Thánh, Nhật Phụng and Phụng Thánh, who were afraid that the coronation of a concubine's son would threaten their position in the royal family.
Soon after naming his successor Lý Thần Tông died, on the 26th day of the same month. On the first day in the tenth lunar month (November 5) of 1138, Lý Anh Tông took the throne at the age of only two. He changed the era name to Thiệu Minh and elevated his mother, Lady Cảm Thánh, to the status of Empress Mother of the Lý Dynasty, the Empress Lê Thị. During his 37-year reign, Lý Anh Tông had three more era names: Đại Định (1140–1162), Chính Long Bảo Ứng (1163–1173) and Thiên Cảm Chí Bảo (1174–1175).
