Nur Muhammad Chattha (Punjabi:نور محمد چٹھہ; 1704–1765) was an 18th-century Punjabi Muslim chieftain of the Chattha clan of Jats in the region of Gujranwala, Punjab.

A prominent figure during the waning years of Mughal authority in the region, Chattha rose to power by resisting the central control of Mir Mannu, the Mughal governor of Lahore, establishing the Chattha state.
