Pa Togan Sangma also known as Togan Sangma or Pa Togan Nengminja Sangma was a Garo tribe leader from Garo hills in North East India. In 1872, during the British occupation of Garo Hills in present Indian state of Meghalaya, the local Garo tribe warriors were led by a young man called Togan Sangma. His troops met the British troops at Rongrenggiri.

The Garo warriors fell in an unmatched battle since British had access to advance warfare armaments.

Pa Togan Sangma is immortalised at the martyr's column in Shillong, where his name is enshrined along with U Tirot Sing and U Kiang Nongbah, the gallant heroes of the Khasis and Jaintias
