Kenghkam or Keng Hkam (also known as Kyaingkan) was a Shan state in what is today Burma. The capital was the town of Keng Hkam, located by the Nam Pang River.
Kenghkam was initially a tributary of the Konbaung dynasty. It was founded in 1811 and was located north of the sub-state of Kengtawng. The state was occupied by Mongnai State from 1870 to 1874 and again from 1878 to 1882, when it was annexed directly.
The rulers of the state bore the title Myoza.
