King Sisowath Monivong (1875–1941) was the monarch of Cambodia under the French Protectorate from 9 August 1927 until his death in 1941, succeeding his father King Sisowath. His reign was largely symbolic as real political power remained in the hands of the French Resident General, though it spanned a period of growing anti-colonial and communist influence in Indochina. Monivong was the grandfather of future ruler Norodom Sihanouk, linking the House of Sisowath to the modern Cambodian monarchy.
