Yoimongba was a Meitei prince of the Ningthouja dynasty of Kangleipak (early Manipur). He is mentioned in the Toreirol Lambuba and the Tutenglon, where he is seen with his younger brother Taothingmang. These classic writings narrate the experiences and journeys of the two siblings, detailing their travels, challenges, and the beginnings of naming of various places in Manipur.
In 266 CE, he appointed several clan rulers of Luwang, Khuman, Angom, and Moirang.
