Nga Yamankan (Burmese: ငရမန်ကန်း, pronounced [ŋə jəmàɰ̃ɡáɰ̃]; c. 1039–1084) was Governor of Pegu (Bago) from 1077 to 1084, who raised an unsuccessful rebellion against Saw Lu of Pagan Dynasty. He nearly succeeded. He captured and killed Lu. But he was driven out of Upper Burma by Lu's half-brother, Kyansittha and was killed while in retreat.
