Muang Phuan (Lao: ເມືອງພວນ, pronounced [mɯ́aŋ pʰúan]; Country of Phuan) or Xieng Khouang (Lao: ຊຽງຂວາງ, pronounced [síaŋ kʰwǎːŋ]), also known historically to the Vietnamese as Trấn Ninh (chữ Hán: 鎮寧; lit. "securement of peace"), was a historical principality on the Xiang Khouang Plateau, which constitutes the modern territory of Xiangkhouang Province, Laos.
