Minkhaung of Mrauk-U (Burmese: မင်းခေါင်, Burmese pronunciation: [mɪ́ɴɡàʊɴ], Arakanese pronunciation: [máɴ ɡàʊɴ]; 1477–1531) was king of Arakan from 1521 to 1531. He was a son of King Dawlya (r. 1482–1492), and succeeded his elder brother King Thazata. He ascended the throne and married his brother's chief queen, Saw Nan-Hset. He was overthrown and killed by Min Bin, then governor of Sandoway (Thandwe) in 1531.[1]
