Hinglaj Mata (Hinglaj Devi, Hingula Devi, Nani Mandir) is a Hindu temple in Hinglaj, a town on the Makran Coast in Balochistan, and is the middle of the Hingol National Park. It is one of the Shakti Peethas of the goddess Sati, and is a form of Durga or Devi located in a mountain cave on the banks of the Hingol River.

The cave temple of Hinglaj Mata is situated 250 km (160 mi) northwest of Karachi, at the end of a range of Kirthar hills in the Makran desert stretch on the west bank of Hingol River. The shrine is located in a small natural cave with a low mud altar. There is no man-made image of the goddess, and a small shapeless stone is worshipped as Hinglaj Mata. The stone is smeared with sindoor (vermilion), which possibly gives the location its Sanskrit name Hingula - root of the present-day name Hinglaj.
