Prince Hưng Nhượng Trần Quốc Tảng (Hán tự: ; ?–1313) was the third son of Prince Hưng Đạo Trần Quốc Tuấn. He was a general of the Trần Dynasty during the reign of emperors Trần Nhân Tông and Trần Anh Tông who was also his son-in-law. As a member of Yên Sinh's line in Trần clan, Trần Quốc Tảng supported the plot of taking over the throne from Trần Cảnh's line which was opposed by his father Trần Quốc Tuấn and his elder brother Trần Quốc Nghiễn, this difference made Prince Hưng Đạo break off the paternal relation with Trần Quốc Tảng until his death in 1300.

Prince Hưng Nhượng (, Vietnamese: Hưng Nhượng vương) Trần Quốc Tảng was born in Yên Sinh fief (now Đông Triều District, Quảng Ninh) as the third son of Prince Hưng Đạo Trần Quốc Tuấn, leader of Yên Sinh's line in Trần clan. After the 1237 event in which Trần Liễu, Trần Quốc Tuấn's father, was forced by grand chancellor Trần Thủ Độ, to give up his pregnant wife Thuận Thiên to his younger brother Trần Cảnh, an inherited hatred began to take form between the Yên Sinh's line of Trần Liễu including Trần Quốc Tuấn and Trần Cảnh's line including the emperors Thánh Tông and Nhân Tông. Before his death, Trần Liễu made his son Prince Hưng Đạo Trần Quốc Tuấn promise to revenge for him by taking over the throne but due to the situation of Đại Việt when the Trần Dynasty had to face with three consecutive invasions from the Yuan Dynasty, Trần Quốc Tuấn preferred keeping a harmony between him and Prince Chiêu Minh Trần Quang Khải who was the other commander of Đại Việt's army and also a member of Trần Cảnh's line.
