Kiggala Sewannaku Mukaabya Kasungubu (died 1494) was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda. He reigned from 1434 until 1464 and from 1484 until 1494. He was the 5th Kabaka of Buganda.
Claim to the throne
He was the eldest son of Kabaka Ttembo, Kabaka of Buganda, by his wife, Najjemba. He ascended to the throne upon the death of his father, around 1434. He established his capital at Kitala Hill. In 1464, he abdicated the throne in favor of his son, Ntege Kiyimba. Kiggala resumed the throne after the death of his son, sometime around 1484. He went blind shortly after the beginning of his second reign. He ruled under the regency of his prime ministers.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}}
