Meidingu Khumomba[a] was a king of the Ningthouja dynasty of Ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur).[1][2] He reigned from 1262 CE to 1277 CE.[3] He was the second son of Meitei king Chingthang Lanthaba, the younger brother of Meitei king Puranthaba and the elder-half brother of Thingbai Selhongba.[4][5]

During his reign, he constructed a Hanuman temple in his kingdom.[6] The Khuman clan was also invaded by the Kabos from the Kabaw Valley during his reign. He helped the Khumans and together, they defeated the Kabos who could not overpower the strong forces of the two groups.[7] He also seized the village of Thanga.[8]
