Tulga (or Tulca) was Visigothic King of Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula) from 640 to 642, if his father died in December 640, as some sources state.

According to Sigibert of Gembloux, the rebel deposed Tulga in Toledo and tonsured him, sending him to a monastery to live out his days as a monk (since monks were ineligible for the elective throne).
