Tao Jirong (（中文）; 越南语：Đào Quý Dung), a native of Jiaozhi (Vietnam), was a Ming dynasty government official.
Tao Jirong inherited the position of a local official in Shuwei County for generations. After Vietnam (Annam) was annexed by the Ming dynasty, he was appointed as the magistrate of Shuwei County in 1406. In 1407, he was promoted to the magistrate of Guihua independent prefecture for his contributions in suppressing the Vietnamese rebel army. In 1420, he was promoted to the vice prefect of Xuanhua Prefecture and stationed at Beixian Fort.[1] 0n 21 January 1427, a militia under Ruan Zhixian (Template:Zhi; Nguyễn Chí Tiên) was sent to attack the rebel army led by Lê Lợi. Ruan Zhixian was captured by Lê Lợi in Qingbo County, and Lê Lợi released him, demanding that he and vice magistrate Huang Qianzhu (Template:Zhi; Hoàng Cầm Châu) return to persuade Tao Jirong to surrender. Tao Jirong scolded, "I am just a local official, entrusted by the court to defend this land. It is not the way of a loyal subject to betray the grace and trust of the emperor. I swear I will not join the rebellion". Despite being threatened with force by Huang Qianzhu and others, Tao Jirong remained steadfast.[1][2]
On 9 March 1427, Tao Jirong was promoted to the position of prefect of Xuanhua Prefecture.[3] He also led the Ming army to defeat the Vietnamese rebel army at Shuiwei.[1] On 26 September 1428, after Wang Tong (Template:Zhi) withdrew his troops from Vietnam, Tao Jirong had nowhere to go and fled to the Ming dynasty with his officials.[1] The Xuande Emperor was pleased and granted them silver coins and clothing, allowing them to reside in the capital. Tao Jirong and others requested to live in the nearby Amizhou in Yunnan, which was approved. The officials were also instructed to provide them with houses and land, and to continue to support them so they would not be left without a place to stay.[4]
