The lingm (, ) is a bamboo flute indigenous to Bhutan. The lingm, the dramyin (lute) and the chiwang (fiddle) comprise the basic instrumental inventory for traditional Bhutanese folk music.

There are two varieties of lingm: the dong lingm ( ), which is front-blown; and the zur lingm (, ), which is side-blown.
