Chandraprabha or Chandraprabhakumara (Skt. Candraprabha Kumāra; Tib. ཟླ་འོད་གཞོན་ནུ་, Wyl. zla 'od gzhon nu) was a young man of Rajagriha and in the King of Samadhi Sutra is the principal one taking part in a dialogue with Buddha Shakyamuni. In the sutra, the Buddha frequently addresses him as “youth” or “young man”. Gampopa is considered to be his reincarnation.
