Police General Sereepisuth Temeeyaves (Thai: เสรีพิศุทธ์ เตมียเวส; RTGSSeriphisut Temiyawet, originally: Seri Temeeyaves; Thai: เสรี เตมียเวส; born 3 September 1948) is the leader of Thai Liberal Party, a Party List member of the 25th and 26th House of Representatives of Thailand, and the chairman the 25th National Assembly's Committee on Corruption Prevention and Suppression.

Sereepisuth is a former Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police between February 2007 and April 2008 by a military junta, replacing Kowit Wattana as the fifth Commissioner. Sereepisuth was removed from office in April 2008 by then prime minister Samak Sundaravej under charges of corruption.[1] The junta also appointed him Director of the Airports of Thailand, along with Chairman General Saprang Kalayanamitr.[2]

Sereepisuth gained his reputation from targeting mafia leaders like "Kamnan Poh" (Somchai Khunpluem) and "Por Pratunam" (Phaijit Thammarojphinij). In his earlier days, he fought against the Communist Party of Thailand in the northeastern region of Thailand, becoming a recipient of the Order of Rama Medal for Gallantry in Action, which was commonly given to soldiers and rarely a police. and gained the moniker "Hero of Na Kae".

Personally, he is married to Phatsaweesiri Thepchatri Temeeyaves (Thai: พัสวีศิริ เทพชาตรี เตมียาเวส) and has three children.
