Senbi Mungyamba was a Meitei king of the Ningthouja dynasty of Medieval Manipur who ruled from 1562 CE to 1597 CE. Born Thangwai Ningthou Kiyamba, he succeeded his father Chalamba at the age of 18. In 1563, he invaded two identical cities Mungkhong and Mungyang in Kabaw Valley and defeated the Shan ruler. He took the name "Mungyamba" from the conquest of Mungyang meaning, "the conqueror of Mungyang". He was the father of Khagemba.

During his reign, there were numerous numbers of migrations of native Tripuris to Manipur.
