**Chalerm Prommas** (Thai: เฉลิม พรมมาส, 19 August 1896 – 26 May 1975), also known by his former noble title as **Luang Chaloem Khamphirawet** (หลวงเฉลิมคัมภีรเวชช์), was a Thai medical doctor. He was a pioneering figure at Thailand's two oldest medical schools, [Siriraj](/source/Faculty_of_Medicine_Siriraj_Hospital) and [Chulalongkorn](/source/Faculty_of_Medicine,_Chulalongkorn_University), and went on to serve as the country's [Minister of Public Health](/source/Minister_of_Public_Health_(Thailand)). He was also known for his academic work, most importantly the discovery, with Svasti Daengsvang, of the life cycle of the *[Gnathostoma spinigerum](/source/Gnathostoma_spinigerum)* parasite, which causes [gnathostomiasis](/source/Gnathostomiasis) in humans.
