诏法，是云南与东南亚地区掸族自治城邦(勐)头人的称呼。在泰语与一些云南语言中诏有国家的意思。如南诏的主体民族乌蛮与白蛮。这字来源是汉语"主"，而法在泰语中解作天。在景栋他们称苏巴。

多数诏法也是高棉人退出泰族地区后出现，在缅甸掸邦他们最后生存至奈温时代。在泰国诏法可以解太子。

Saopha, Sao Pha, Chaofa, Sawbwa, or saw-bwa (စော်ဘွား, pronounced: [sɔ̀ bwá]; Shan: ၸဝ်ႈၾႃႉ, literally meaning "lord of the heavens" or "lord of the sky") was a royal title used by the heriditary rulers of the semi-independent Shan States (Mong, Shan:မိူင်း, pronounced [mə́ŋ]) in what today is Eastern Myanmar (Burma). It may also be used for rulers of similar Tai/Dai states in neighbouring countries, notably including China's Yunnan Province.
