Gyurmed Namgyal (Sikkimese: {{bo-textonly|འགྱུར་མེད་རྣམ་རྒྱལ་}}; Wylie: 'gyur med rnam rgyal) was the fourth Chogyal (king) of Sikkim. He succeeded Chakdor Namgyal in 1716 and was succeeded by Phuntsog Namgyal II in 1733.[https://books.google.com/books?id=L7gIVNzkN2YC&dq=Chakdor+Namgyal&pg=PA80 Sikkim: Past and Present edited by H. G. Joshi]

During his reign, Limbuana rebelled and broke off from Sikkim. During his reign, Sikkim's borders were frequently raided by Bhutanese and Nepalese. Shortly before his death, Gyurmed revealed that a nun at Sangcheolling monastery had borne him a son, who was to be his successor. {{Cite book|title=Sons of Sikkim|last=Kazi|first=Jigme N.|publisher=Notion Press|year=2020|location=Chennai|pages=89-91}}
