Cagra Trülku (Tib. Lcags ra sprul sku ) is the title of a series of incarnations from the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism. Its seat is in the Chamdo Champa Ling monastery in Chamdo in eastern Tibet, where the Phagpa Lha also has its seat.

The first representative, Drubthob Sanggye Peljor (grub thob sangs rgyas dpal 'byor; 1449–1523) was a nephew and disciple of the 1st Phagpa Lha (' phags pa lha) Gyelwa Phagpa Lha (rgyal ba 'phags pa lha; 1439–1487 ), whom he helped found numerous monasteries in southeastern Tibet. The Cagra Trülkus are considered Vajrapāṇi emanations.

The 11th representative, Lobsang Tendzin (blo bzang btsan 'dzin), is the son of the Tibetan politician Lhalu Tsewang Dorje (lha klu tshe dbang rdo rje).

Lobsang Tendzin, who does not belong to any party, was elected vice chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China in 2003 .
