Tự Đức thánh chế tự học giải nghĩa ca (chữ Hán: 嗣德聖製字學解義歌; 'Emperor Tự Đức's sagely study of character creation and interpretation song') is a Vietnamese book that teaches Chinese characters (chữ Hán) through chữ Nôm. It was complied by the emperor of the Nguyễn dynasty, Tự Đức (1848-1883), around the 19th century. The book itself contains 13 volumes which are organized into 7 major categories. It is written in the Vietnamese lục bát 六八 verse form. It is considered to be an important dictionary for chữ Nôm researchers as it is a fairly complete Hán-Nôm dictionary with no ambiguous characters.
