Nippean Bat (Khmer: និព្វានបាទ, Nibbānapāda), also known as Ponhea Kreak by his personal name, was ruler of the Khmer Empire from 1340 to 1346. Nippean Bat or "Nirvana Pada" was the eldest son of Trasak Paem. According to the Royal Chronicles, he succeeded his father and during his reign, the Thais led a revolt declaring their own independent kingdoms and became free from the vassalage of the Khmer empire.

He was succeeded by his younger brother Sithean Reachea.
