List of emperors of Tibet

The traditional list of the ancient Yarlung dynasty's Tibetan kings consists of 42 names. The earliest kings ruled before the Tibetan script was developed; the history of Tibet was thus thus a verbal history and only written after the earliest periods of rule. While there is a lack of contemporaneous biographical manuscripts detailing the lives of the first 26 kings, modern scholars note that the lives of the later ones were better documented.
All of the kings are known as representatives of the Yarlung dynasty, named after the Yarlung Tsangpo and its Yarlung Valley. Their titles are more correctly translated as "chief", not "emperor". The unified Tibetan state is documented beginning with the 31st, the 32nd, and the 33rd kings.
Traditional Tibetan titles for the king include and .
