Gar Trinring Tsendro (Tibetan: མགར་ཁྲིང་འབྲིང་བཙན་བྲོད, Wylie: mgar khri vbring btsan brod; ? – 699), also known as Lon Trinling (Tibetan: བློན་ཁྲི་འབྲིང), was a general of the Tibetan Empire. He was the second son of minister Gar Tongtsen Yülsung. In Chinese records, his name was given as Lùn Qīnlíng (simplified Chinese: 论钦陵; traditional Chinese: 論欽陵) or Qǐzhèng (Chinese: 起政).
After his elder brother Tsenye Dompu succeeded the "Lonchen" (Tibetan: བློན་ཆེན་, Wylie: blon chen, "Great Minister"), he was sent to 'A-zha to defend against Tang dynasty. In the spring of 670, Tibet attacked the remaining Chinese territories in the western Tarim Basin. The Chinese general Xue Rengui led over 100 thousand soldiers invaded 'A-zha, tried to conquer Tibet, but was defeated by Trinring by the Dafei River and near annihilation.
