Kenglon (also known as Kenglön and Kyainglon) was a small Shan state in what is today Burma.
Kenglon used to be a part of North Hsenwi. It became independent from the state of Hsenwi in 1857. It was a tributary of Burma until 1887, when the Konbaung dynasty fell to the United Kingdom and the Shan states submitted to British rule.
In 1926 Kenglon State was incorporated into Kehsi Mansam.
The rulers of the state bore the title Myoza.
