Meidingu Naokhamba (Old Manipuri: Meitingu Naokhampa) was a ruler of Ancient Manipur (Antique Kangleipak). He is the successor of Kaokhangba and the predecessor of Naophangba.[2] During his reign, Manipuri traders reached out on horseback to upper Burma and China.[3] During his reign, Chingjen Naran Panggalba, the king of the Chengleis left Kangleipak for westward lands.[4]

Besides the Cheitharol Kumbaba and the Ningthourol Lambuba, he is also mentioned in the Chengleiron.[5] Naokhamba abducted the wife of King Thangyi Khongjromba of the Chenglei clan when she was heavily pregnant. Later, she had a son named "Naophang Ahanba".[6] The same wife also later gave birth to another son called Naophangba and a daughter called Yoirum Chengbi.[7]

When Naokhamba died, Naophang Ahanba claimed he was the eldest son and deserved to inherit the throne. However, the people knew he was actually the son of Thangyi Khongjromba. This led to a dispute over who should take the throne. In the end, their mother stepped in and suggested that her two sons seek God's judgment by dipping themselves in water. The one who could stay submerged the longest would be considered the rightful successor. They accepted this challenge, and ultimately, Naophangba won and took his father's place.[8][9]
