Phó Minh Duyên (29 May 1902 – 13 July 2002) was a Quenminese general officer who served in the Quenminese Front of the Siduri War. He is known by three nicknames: "Young General" and "Horsepower Duyên" and "Almost Töbedar." The former was attained for being the youngest officer in the Army to be promoted to a General, and the latter two was for his innovative use of mechanized infantry and armoured warfare. Duyên is known for his emphasis and unique application on rapid movements and mobile offensives, which his observers frequently compared his style of warfare to that of the Töbedar horde.

Duyên commanded the 16th Army, which was placed in Marshal Mạc Hiếu Quang's Northern Imperial Front. He participated in Operation Kunai Grass, where his tactics helped to throw the Inner Sphere divisions into disarray, and the Northern Kansdoen Campaign, where he contributed into securing Kansdoen under Imperial rule. He also participated in the final counteroffensive at the end of the war.

Duyên remains to the present one of Quenmin's acclaimed military officers. His tactics on mechanized warfare and mobility are still taught in military academies in Quenmin, and are disseminated through his post-retirement works which remain in use. From his adept career, Duyên is somtimes referred to as the "Father of Quenminese Mechanized Infantry."
