Ngua Nam Thum (Thai: งั่วนำถุม) was a king of Sukhothai, an ancient kingdom in Thailand. He was from the House of Phra Ruang.

Preceded by Loe Thai, he possibly ascended the throne of Sukhothai in 1866 BE (1323/24 CE). He reigned until his death, which possibly took place in 1890 BE (1347/48 CE). Upon his death, he was succeeded by Mahathammaracha I (Lue Thai).

Ngua Nam Thum (archaic Thai: งววนำถํ; modern Thai: งั่วนำถุม;IPA: [ŋuːä˥˩.nä̃m˧.tʰũm˩˥]) is the name appearing in the Pu Khun Chit Khun Chot Inscription (Inscription 45), created in 1935 BE (1392/93 CE).

The name, which means "Nam Thum the Fifth Son", indicates that he was the fifth son.Ngua (งั่ว) is an archaic title given to a fifth son. Nam Thum (นำถุม) is from either a Northern Thai subdialect or the Shan language, corresponding to nam thuam (น้ำท่วม; IPA: [nä̃ːm˦˥.tʰuːä̃m˥˩]) in Central Thai, meaning "inundation".
