Dejphon Chansiri (Thai: เดชพล จันศิริ) is a Thai businessman who owns EFL Championship club Sheffield Wednesday. The Chansiri family, with an estimated net worth of $575 million, controls the Thai Union Group, the world's largest canned tuna producer. In 2015, Chansiri led a consortium to acquire Sheffield Wednesday for £37.5 million, aiming for Premier League promotion by 2017; however, amidst protests and financial troubles in September and October 2023, including an embargo and a request for £2 million from fans, Chansiri announced he would not invest further in the club.
