Gyurmed Namgyal (Sikkimese: འགྱུར་མེད་རྣམ་རྒྱལ་; Wylie: 'gyur med rnam rgyal) was the fourth Chogyal (king) of Sikkim. He succeeded Chakdor Namgyal in 1716 and was succeeded by Phuntsog Namgyal II in 1733.

During his reign, Limbuana rebelled and broke off from Sikkim. During his reign, Sikkim's borders were frequently raided by Bhutanese and Nepalese. Shortly before his death, Gyurmed revealed that a nun at Sangcheolling monastery had borne him a son, who was to be his successor.
