The Kingdom of Hiran or the Kingdom of Ngoenyang (Thai: อาณาจักรหิรัญเงินยาง, RTGS: Anachak Hiran Ngoenyang listen^ⓘ) was an early mueang or kingdom of the Northern Thai people from the 7th through 13th centuries AD and was originally centered on Hiran, formerly Vieng Prueksa, in modern-day Thailand near today's Mae Sai district in Chiang Rai, and later on Ngoenyang or Chiang Saen. Ngoenyang was the successor to the mueang of Singhanavati. King Mangrai, the 25th king of Ngoenyang, went on to found Lanna.^[1]

In contrast to most contemporary Tai states, Ngoenyang was mentioned in local chronicles, which provide some information about its history.
