The Thap Phu Loc is a brick tower Hindu temple in An Nhon district, Binh Dinh province Vietnam. It is located on the top of a hill, about 40 kilometers from Quy Nhon city midst rice farms and forested area. Visible in the distance from the Thap Canh Tien, it is reachable by a short though steep hike that starts south of the monument.

The Thap Phu Loc is an 11th to 12th century Hindu temple with a square plan. It opens to the east. Its architecture is simpler than Thap Canh Tien which is about 4 kilometers away. The Thap Phu Loc temple is a Vijaya era monument, useful to compare with Thap Thu Tien Hindu temple in Tay Son district nearby.
