Khuman Salai (Meitei: ꯈꯨꯃꯟ ꯁꯂꯥꯢ) (literally, "Khuman dynasty") is a clan, which probably ruled parts of Kangleipak (present day Manipur)[1] prior to subjugation by the Ningthouja dynasty (Mangang) c. 13th Century.

[2][3] The Khuman-Lon Puya records information about their rule.

[4] The rough translation of Khuman in English is a narrowed darkness.

Khuman was the son of Iputhou Pakhangba and Loikhumpi Mawai Thoungailenpi.

He was born inside Kangla Palace, Imphal at evening when sunset sky is somewhat dark in colour.
