Dominic Đặng Văn Cầu (Vietnamese: Đa Minh Đặng Văn Cầu) is a Vietnamese Catholic prelate who serves as the Bishop of Thái Bình. He was ordained to the priesthood on 9 March 1996 and previously served as Rector of the Sacred Heart Major Seminary of Thái Bình since 2017.[1]
Cầu was appointed Bishop of Thái Bình on 29 October 2022. Another priest, Joseph Bùi Công Trác, was supposed to be appointed on the same day as him, but Trác was appointed later, on 1 November, because Archbishop Joseph Nguyễn Năng was on retreat.[2]
He was consecrated a bishop by Bishop Pierre Nguyễn Văn Đệ SDB on 31 December 2022 at the front of the Diocesan Pastoral Center (adjacent to the cathedral). His co-consecrators were Joseph Nguyễn Tấn Tước, Bishop of Phú Cường and Joseph Trần Văn Toản, Bishop of Long Xuyên.[3][a]
