Chaiyasongkram (, Jayasangrāmā; ), also spelt Jaiyasonggam, Jaiyasongkam or Mangkhram (; ) was the second king of the Mangrai dynasty who ruled the Lan Na Kingdom. He reigned from 1311 or 1318 to 1325/1327. Chaiyasongkram was the second son of Mangrai and was originally named '''Chao Khun Khram'. He ascended the throne as the rightful successor to his father. In the year 1311, at the time of his accession, he was 55 years old.

Chaiyasongkram was considered a beloved royal son, as he served as the right-hand man to his father, Mangrai, during the establishment of the Lan Na Kingdom in the 13th century. He was a capable warrior, and after his victory over Phaya Boek, the ruler of the city of Haripuñjaya, in a major battle in 1296, Mangrai appointed him as the Uparaja (viceroy) and granted him Chiang Dao as a reward.
