Katok Tsewang Norbu (Tibetan: ཀཿ་ཐོག་ཚེ་དབང་ནོར་བུ, Wylie: ka' thog tshe dbang nor bu, 1698–1755) was a teacher of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism who notably championed the shentong (Wylie: gzhan stong) or "empty of other" view first popularised by the Jonang school as well as examining the Chan Buddhist teachings of Hashang Mahayana, known as Moheyan. Despite the shentong view being banned as heretical, he successfully taught and cultivated its teachings as a legitimate view among the Nyingmapa.^[1]

His seat was the Katok Monastery of Tibet.
