'''Wat Saket Ratchawora Mahawihan''' ({{langx|th|วัดสระเกศราชวรมหาวิหาร}}), usually shortened to '''Wat Saket''', is a Buddhist temple (''[[wat]]'') in [[Pom Prap Sattru Phai district]], [[Bangkok]], Thailand.
The temple dates back to the [[Ayutthaya kingdom|Ayutthaya era]], when it was known as Wat Sakae (วัดสะแก). When Bangkok became the capital, King [[Rama I]] (1737–1809) renovated the temple and gave it its present name (which roughly translates as "wash hair"); it was believed that on his return from the war, the king stopped to take a bath and wash his hair here, before entering the [[Rattanakosin Island|inner city]].<ref name=ci>{{cite web|url=https://www.thairath.co.th/newspaper/columns/1086852|work=[[Thairath]]|date=2017-10-03|access-date=2019-09-19|language=th|title=หมุดหมายแห่งสระเกศ|first=Kilane|last=Pralongchoeng|trans-title=Placemark of Saket}}</ref>
