Lobsang Sangay (, ) is a Tibetan-American politician in exile who was Kalon Tripa of the Tibetan Administration in India from 2011 to 2012, and Sikyong of the Central Tibetan Administration in India from 2012 to 2021.

The Tibetan Administration was created in 1991 after the 14th Dalai Lama rejected calls for Tibetan independence. The 14th Dalai Lama became permanent head of the Tibetan Administration and the executive functions for Tibetans-in-exile in 1991. In March 2011, at 71 years of age, the 14th Dalai Lama decided not to assume any political and administrative authority. The Charter of Tibetans in Exile was updated immediately in May 2011, and all articles related to political duties and regents of the 14th Dalai Lama were repealed.

Sangay was born in Darjeeling, India, and studied international law and democracy at Harvard University. He holds American citizenship. Provided by Wikipedia
