Möng Lem or Moeng Laem (; ), also known by its Chinese name Menglian, was a Tai Nüa state in what is today Menglian County in Yunnan, China.Meng-lian Chief's Office (孟璉長官司)

History Möng Lem was established as a tusi state of the Yuan dynasty in 1289. The state was subdued by Möng Mao (Luchuan) in the 14th–15th centuries.

Möng Lem was one of the Koshanpye or "Nine Shan States" in China. The others were Möngmāu, Hsikwan, Möngnā, Sandā, Hosā, Lasā, Möngwan and Küngma (Köng-ma). It was a tributary both of Kingdom of Burma and China until the late 19th century when the British signed an agreement that made the Chinese Shan states become part of China.Henry Rodolph Davies, Yün-nan: The Link Between India and the Yangtze, p. 91]
