Maharaja Sir Meidingngu Churachand KCSI CBE, also known as Churachandra or Chura Chand (1886–1941) was installed as the Raja of Manipur after his predecessor Kulachandra was jailed. He was a 5-year-old boy when he was placed on the throne on 22 September 1891 after the troubles of the 'Anglo-Manipur War of 1891'. In 1907 he was formally declared king, after completing education at Ajmer College.

He received the title of Maharaja in 1918 and was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India in the 1934 New Year Honours, becoming Sir Churachandra Singh.
