The name Nock-ten has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Laos and refers to the kingfisher.
- Typhoon Nock-ten (2004) (T0424, 28W, Tonyo) – a strong typhoon which affected Taiwan and Japan, claiming 3 lives.
- Severe Tropical Storm Nock-ten (2011) (T1108, 10W, Juaning) – a relatively strong tropical cyclone which was considered by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) as a Category 1-equivalent typhoon; struck the Philippines and Vietnam, killing 128 people and causing damage worth US$126 million.
- Typhoon Nock-ten (2016) (T1626, 30W, Nina) – the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded on Christmas Day; made landfall in Philippines, causing 13 fatalities and $123 million worth of damage.
Nock-ten was retired after the 2016 season during the annual session of the World Meteorological Organization, and was replaced with Hinnamnor, which was used for the first and only time in 2022; like Nock-ten, the said name was also retired after the season.
