Kue Na (Northern Thai: ᨻᩕ᩠ᨿᩣᨠᩨᨶᩣ; Thai: พญากือนา), Dhammikaraja (Thai: พญาธรรมิกราช), or Song Saen Na Dhammikaraja (Thai: เจ้าท้าวสองแสนนา อันธรรมิกราช) was the 6th monarch of the Mangrai Dynasty. He reigned from 1355/1367 to 1385/1388. He was the son of Phayu and Chitradevi.
Kuena was deeply devoted to Buddhism. He invited Phra Sumanathera from Sukhothai to establish the Lankan Theravāda Buddhist tradition in Lan Na. He also enshrined the Buddha’s relics on Doi Suthep, laying the foundation for the sacred site that remains revered to this day.
