Bal Kyisang Dongtsap (Tibetan: འབལ་སྐྱེས་ཟང་སྡོང་ཚབ, Wylie: vbal skye zang ldong tshab; ? – 755), also known as Bal Dongtsap, was a general of Tibetan Empire.
Bal Dongtsap invaded Bruzha (mordern Gilgit in Pakistan) in 737 and conquered it. Later, he was appointed as the "Great Minister" (Tibetan: བློན་ཆེན་, Wylie: blon chen) by Me Agtsom.
Bal Dongtsap murdered Me Agtsom in 755, and launched a rebellion together with his colleague Lang Nyesig. They were supported by the Sumpa king Dro Tsen. Dongtsap was defeated by two famous generals, Chimshang Gyalsig Shuteng and Nganlam Takdra Lukhong, and was captured. He was executed together with Lang Nyesig and their family members.
