Tsering Dhundup (Tibetan: ཚེ་རིང་དོན་གྲུབ་, Wylie: tshe ring don grub; born 21 February 1982) is a Tibetan football player and political activist from Dehradun. The midfielder plays for the Tibet national football team since 2007. Dhundup is top scorer since the 6-0 victory of Tibet against Delhi XI, on 4 August 2007, since the foundation of the Tibetan team in 1999.[citation needed]

Dhundup is spokesperson of the Tibetan Youth Congress.[1] In February 2008, Dhundup was arrested at the UN funded Tibetan Reception Centre in Kathmandu. He was held in a cell by the Nepalese immigration department, before being handed back to the Chinese authorities, at the Tibet-Nepal border at Tatopani. Exiled Tibetans and supporters have demanded his release.[2]
