Nongda Lairen Pakhangba (Meitei: ꯅꯣꯡꯗꯥ ꯂꯥꯢꯔꯦꯟ ꯄꯥꯈꯪꯕ), originally spelt as Nongta Lailen Pakhangpa (Old Manipuri: ꯅꯣꯡꯇꯥ ꯂꯥꯢꯂꯦꯟ ꯄꯥꯈꯪꯄ), is the first ruler of the Ningthouja dynasty to sit on the throne of the Kangla in Ancient Manipur (Antique Kangleipak). He ascended the throne of the kingdom in 33 AD and ruled till 154 AD.

His identity was always mingled with that of the snake God Pakhangba. So, history described him to be a more divine figure rather than a historic figure. The Khaba Nganba dynasty held the power of the kingdom before Nongda Lairen Pakhangba had overcame them through fierce battle. The "Pakhangba Nongkaron" recorded the fact that he had a combat with Poireiton for claiming the throne of Kangla, the ancient capital city of the kingdom.
