Kriangkrai Noikoed (Thai: เกรียงไกร น้อยเกิด; born October 6, 1975, in Bangkok) is a Thai taekwondo practitioner, who competed in the men's welterweight category.^[1] He claimed a bronze medal in the 70-kg division at the 1998 Asian Games in his native Bangkok, retrieved three men's welterweight titles at the Southeast Asian Games (1999, 2001, and 2003), and later represented his nation Thailand at the 2004 Summer Olympics.^[2][3]

Noikoed qualified for the Thai squad in the men's welterweight class (80 kg) at the 2004 Summer OlympicsinAthens, by defeating Filipino taekwondo player Donald Geisler for the top spot and securing a berth from the Asian Olympic Qualifying Tournament in his native Bangkok.^[4][5] He crashed out early in a cautious 12–16 defeat to Iranian fighter and eventual bronze medalist Yousef Karami during his opening round match. When Karami lost the semifinal to U.S. taekwondo player and 2000 Olympic champion Steven López, Noikoed denied his chance to proceed into the repechage for the Olympic bronze medal.^[6]
