Wangol Ningthou Chingkhu Naha Akhuba (ꯋꯥꯡꯒꯣꯜ ꯅꯤꯡꯊꯧ ꯆꯤꯡꯈꯨ ꯅꯍꯥ ꯑꯈꯨꯕ), shortly known as Chingkhu Akhuba (ꯆꯤꯡꯈꯨ ꯑꯈꯨꯕꯥ), or Chingkhu Naha (ꯆꯤꯡꯈꯨ ꯅꯍꯥ), or sometimes in modern literature as Chingkhuba Jubaraj (ꯆꯤꯡꯈꯨꯕ ꯖꯨꯕꯔꯥꯖ), was a crown prince (Wangon Ningthou) and royal brother in the Moirang dynasty of ancient Moirang kingdom. He was the younger brother of King Chingkhu Telheiba, who ruled from 1083 CE to 1138 CE. Both brothers are sometimes called Chingkhuba, which can cause confusion.

He was the father of Thoibi, the Iwanglon (or Ewanglon, meaning a princess of Moirang), who is the protagonist of the classical Meitei epic Khamba Thoibi. Chingkhu Akhuba played an important role in the Moirang Kangleirol tradition, which is part of Meitei mythology and folklore.
