Namuggala Kagali was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda, between 1741 and 1750. He was the twenty-fourth (24th) Kabaka of Buganda. He is remembered as a lovable and merciful ruler.[1]
He was the second son of Prince Musanje Golooba. His mother was Nabulya Naluggwa of the Ndiga clan, the second of his father's wives. He ascended to the throne upon the death of his elder brother, Kabaka Mwanga I Sebanakitta, in 1741. He established his capital at Nansana.[1]
He is recorded to have married six (6) wives:[1]

His genial nature made him a more acceptable candidate to men who still remembered the tyranny of Kagulu’s rule.

Kabaka Namuggala abdicated in favor of his younger brother, Kyabaggu Kabinuli, around 1750. He died, following an accidental fall on Nalubugo Hill, after his abdication.[citation needed] He was buried at Muyomba, Busiro.[3]
