Kangra-Lambagraon was a historical princely estate (jagir) of British India located in the present-day state of Himachal Pradesh.

The rulers of the estate belonged to the ancient Katoch dynasty^[1] which had ruled the former Kangra State.^{[citation needed]} Kangra is credited with being the oldest and largest state in the Punjab Hills.^[2]

In 1846 Kangra was annexed to British India^[3] as part of the Treaty of Lahore.
