The Kingdom of Powo or sPo bo (Tibetan: ཀཿགནམ་རྒྱ་པོ, Wylie: kaHgnam rgya po; Chinese: 波密土王) was a kingdom founded in the 13th century, located in present-day Bomê County, Tibet. The monarchs of Powo were descendants of Drigum Tsenpo, and used the title Kanam Gyalpo (kaH gnam rgyal po) or Kanam Depa (kaH gnam sde pa).
The kingdom was annexed by Qing China in 1910, but the King restored it the next year. In 1928, the kingdom was annexed by Tibet.
