Thangching or Thangjing (Meitei: ꯊꯥꯡꯖꯤꯡ) is a primordial deity in Sanamahism, the indigenous religion of Manipur. He is the ruling deity of the Moirang dynasty. He rules supreme on the banks of the landlocked sea, Loktak lake. He is one of the four cardinal Umang Lais. The guardianship of the south western direction is attributed to Thangjing and the other directions to Koubru (north west), Marjing (north east) and Wangbren (south east).
Two of his most prominent pantheons are the Thangching Temple and the Thangching Hill (Thangjing Peak).
