DEPTEL 243, also known as Telegram 243, the August 24 cable or most commonly Cable 243, was a high-profile message sent on August 24, 1963, by the United States Department of State to Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., the US ambassador to South Vietnam.
 The cable came in the wake of the midnight raids on August 21 by the regime of Ngo Dinh Diem against Buddhist pagodas across the country, in which hundreds were believed to have been killed.
 The raids were orchestrated by Diem's brother Ngô Đình Nhu and precipitated a change in US policy.
 The cable declared that Washington would no longer tolerate Nhu remaining in a position of power and ordered Lodge to pressure Diem to remove his brother.
 It said that if Diem refused, the Americans would explore the possibility for alternative leadership in South Vietnam.
 In effect, the cable authorized Lodge to give the green light to Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) officers to launch a coup against Diem if he did not willingly remove Nhu from power.
 The cable marked a turning point in US-Diem relations and was described in the Pentagon Papers as "controversial".
 Historian John W. Newman described it as "the single most controversial cable of the Vietnam War".
