Chogyal Wangchuk Tenzing Namgyal (b. April 1, 1953) is the second son of Palden Thondup Namgyal, the last sovereign king of Sikkim. He is also the present heir of the Namgyal dynasty and claimant to the Sikkim throne.

He was crowned as Sikkim's 13th king after his elder brother crown prince Tenzing Namgyal was killed in a road accident.However now this position does not confer any official authority and his responsibility includes only religious matters.
