Tsugphud Namgyal (Sikkimese: གཙུག་ཕུད་རྣམ་རྒྱལ་; Wylie: gtsug phud rnam rgyal) (1785–1863) was king of Sikkim from 1793 to 1863.

Sikkim allied itself with the British in India, who also considered Nepal an enemy.

Nepal overran most of the region, sparking the Gurkha War in 1814 with the British East India Company.

In 1835, Tsugphud Namgyal ceded Darjeeling to the East India Company for an annual fee, but this relationship was broken off after he seized botanist Joseph Hooker and Darjeeling Superintendent Archibald Campbell during their expedition to Sikkim.
