Nguyễn An (Sino-Vietnamese 阮安; 1381 - 1453), known in Chinese as Ruan An (pinyin) or Juan An (Wade-Giles), was the principal architect of the Forbidden City during the Ming dynasty and hydraulics specialist between the first and fifth decades of the 15th century. Born in Vietnam, he was taken as tribute to China during the Ming Invasion (1406-1407) and later became a eunuch and architect in service to the Chinese emperors. He, along with other architects, such as master designers and planners Cai Xin (蔡信), Chen Gui (陳珪), and Wu Zhong (吳中), was the builder of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
