The Kingdom of Nangchen (Tibetan: ནང་ཆེན་རྒྱལ་པོ, Wylie: nang chen rgyal po; Chinese: 囊谦土司), also known as the Kingdom of Nangqian, was a Tibetan tusi in what is now Nangqen County, in the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. It existed from 1175 to 1955, when it was abolished as part of reforms made after the communist victory in the Chinese Civil War.
