Barom Reachea IV or Barom Reachea VII (1548–1619), also known as Srei Soriyopear (also spelled Soryopor or Soryapor; Khmer: ស្រីសុរិយោពណ៌), was the Cambodian king who ruled from 1603 to 1618.[citation needed]

He was appointed the ouparach (heir apparent or viceroy) by his elder brother Satha I in 1579.[citation needed]

In 1594, when Cambodia was attacked by Siam, Chey Chettha I and Satha I fled the capital, leaving Soriyopear to defend against the Siamese.[1] Soriyopear was granted the title Uprayorach (ឧភយោរាជ), the title usually borne by kings who had abdicated but retained executive powers.[citation needed] He was assisted by Spanish and Portuguese mercenaries, but in the same year Lovek was captured by Siamese, he was taken to Ayutthaya along with 90,000 Cambodians.[2]

Srei Soriyopear was released and returned to Cambodia in 1600.[citation needed] With the help of the Siamese,[3] his nephew Kaev Hua I (Ponhea Nhom) was forced to abdicate the throne in favor of him. Cambodia became a vassal of Siam.[3] He succeeded to the throne with the powerful support of the influential queen mother Devikshatri.[4]

Soriyopear built the new capital Oudong in 1601.[5] He died in 1619, succeeded by his eldest son Chey Chettha II.
