Suklingphaa (ruled 1795–1811), or Kamaleswar Singha, was a king of the Ahom kingdom. He came to power when he was a toddler, and died in his teens during a small pox epidemic. The de facto ruler during his reign was Purnanada Burhagohain, who was able to consolidate power after installing him on the throne; and his parents Kadamdighala and Numali also were very powerful. Kamaleswar Singha's reign witnessed the suppression of Moamoria rebellion and restoration of Ahom rule over Upper Assam. The Dundiya Revolution in Kamrup was also suppressed during his reign. In Nagaon, the Ahom army also managed to defeat a coalition of Moamoria rebels and the Kacharis of Kachari Kingdom. Much of this was the handiwork of Purnananda Burhagohain and not Kamaleshwar Singha.

Since the king has no heir he entrusted Purnananda Burhagohain to select the next king who raised the elder son of Kadamdighala Gohain, Kinaram Gohain as the new king of the Ahom Kingdom, who was then a mere baby of less than two years old. Kinaram was proclaimed the sovereign of the Ahom Kingdom and was placed on the throne at the Dichoi camp. The Tai-Ahom priests conferred upon him the title Suklingphaa. The name 'Kamaleswar Singha' was sent down to Calcutta for being impressed on the coin. Reign At the time of Kamaleswar Singha's accession, situation of the country was far from stable.
