Jigme Tromge Rinpoche (b. 1965) is a contemporary nyingma lama and a main lineage holder of his father Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche's tradition.

In his biography, Chagdud Rinpoche recounts[2]:
- My fullest, most auspicious dream occurred when Jigme was a young boy. In that dream I went to Zangdok Palri, Glorious Copper-Colored Mountain, the pureland of Padmasambhava, to take part in a great offering ceremony and to ask Padmasambhava who my son was. However, upon arrival, I didn’t have the audacity to enter Padmasambhava’s presence, so I began circumambulating his celestial palace along with a great gathering of realization holders and dakinis. Suddenly I cam across my mother Delog Dawa Drolma. She had a very white complexion with a bluish tinge. She laughed when she saw me and before I could speak she said, “Your son is Yudra Nyingpo.” Yudra Nyingpo was one of the Twenty-five disciples of Guru Rinpoche who was renowned as a siddha, a translator and a master of Dzogchen. Karma and I rejoiced in the birth of this son.
