Gyurme Dechen Chokdrup (Tib. འགྱུར་མེད་བདེ་ཆེན་མཆོག་གྲུབ་, Wyl. 'gyur med bde chen mchog grub) (b.late 19th century-d.early 20th century?) — the Eighth Minling Trichen or throneholder of Mindroling Monastery.
Since the Eighth Minling Trichen had only daughters and no sons, the hereditary lineage of the Minling Trichens was in danger of being severed. According to prophecies made by the Nechung Oracle, along with the 13th Dalai Lama's intervention, Tertön Rangrik Dorje (aka Kusum Lingpa, a reincarnation of the First Minling Trichen, Minling Terchen Gyurme Dorje) and his son, Pema Wangchen, were invited to Mindroling Monastery. Pema Wangchen took Jetsün Chimé Deden Drolma, the Eighth Minling Trichen's daughter as his wife, and became the regent, or tritsab, of the Mindroling throne. Their offspring, Gyurme Dechen Chokdrup, thus became the Tenth Minling Trichen, and the Tri Rab lineage of Mindroling was secured.
