The Ganga Narayan Hungama (also known as Bhumij Revolt, Jungle Mahal Uprising) was revolt of Bhumij tribals, led by Ganga Narayan during 1832–33 in the Manbhum and Jungle Mahal areas of the erstwhile Midnapore district, Bengal.

The British have called it "Ganga Narain's Hangama" while historians have also written it as the Chuar rebellion. The word 'Hungama' (হাঙ্গামা) in Bangla means 'disturbance'.
