却嘉（锡金语：ཆོས་རྒྱལ，威利：chos rgyal），一译大君，是已不存在的君主国锡金和拉达克的君主的称号。锡金和拉达克的却嘉分别建立了两个王朝——锡金的南嘉王朝（一译纳穆加尔王朝）和拉达克的南嘉王朝。 却嘉在藏语中意思是法王，而在不丹历史上则有同样意思的称谓：达玛拉贾（Dharmaraja）和（Shabdrung），都是国王的称号，后来被改为了（Deb Raja）和竺第悉（Druk Desi）。 相传早在8世纪的时候莲花生大士来到锡金，帮助当地酋长统一了锡金。而锡金南嘉王朝的始祖是（Guru Tashi），是来自康区的弭药王子。 1642年，蓬楚格·纳穆加尔（彭措南嘉）建立却嘉王朝，定都。1975年，锡金被印度吞并，成为印度的一个邦，但锡金王室仍拒绝放弃王位，強調印度的侵占是非法的。
