The name Kulap has been used for two tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Thailand and means "rose" (กุหลาบ). It was spelt Kularb until a 2002 update by the WMO that also changed the orthography of Rammasun, Mekkhala and Wipha.

  • Severe Tropical Storm Kulap (2005) (T0501, 01W)
  • Tropical Storm Kulap (2011) (T1114, 17W, Nonoy) - Due to its similar pronunciation to the former president of the Philippines' nickname "Noynoy", Nonoy was removed from the PASAGA's naming list and replaced with Nona during the 2015 Pacific typhoon season (the name itself retired and replaced with Nimfa)
