Urgyen Tsomo (1897–1961) was a prominent Tibetan Buddhist female master who was known as the Great Dakini of Tsurphu (Tsurpu Khandro Chenmo). She was the consort of the Khakyab Dorje, 15th Karmapa Lama. She was considered by other masters to be the reincarnation (emanation) of Yeshe Tsogyal, the consort of Padmasambhava of the 8th century, who spread Buddhism in Tibet.

Her emanation has similarly been recognized in Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche.
