Thangjing Hill (also called Thangching Hill and Thangting Hill), is a mountain peak in the Indian state of Manipur. It is in the Churachandpur district, to the west of Moirang. The north–south-running mountain range on which it sits is also called Thangjing range or Thangjing Hills. The range forms part of the western border of the Imphal Valley.
The Thangjing Hill is believed by Manipuris to be the abode of Thangching, the ancestral deity of Moirang. In the Meitei cosmology, the "body" of Manipur is represented with various natural features of the land, including the Thangjing hill as its right leg.
The Meiteis of the Moirang region carry out an annual pilgrimage to the top of the hill.
