Minye Kyawhtin (,; also known as Min-nge Kyawhtin (မင်းငယ် ကျော်ထင်),; 1408–1459) was a pretender to the Ava throne from 1426 to 1459. The eldest son of Crown Prince Minye Kyawswa, Minye Kyawhtin raised a long-running rebellion against King Mohnyin Thado (r. 1426–1439) and his successors, kings Minye Kyawswa I (r. 1439–1442) and Narapati I of Ava (r. 1442–1468).
Despite his claim to the throne, the prince found support only in one former vassal state, Onbaung (Hsipaw/Thibaw). Except for a brief period in 1427–1428, his rebellion never posed a real threat to Ava. He did hold on to Pinle, a well-fortified outpost at the edge of the Ava (Inwa) capital region, until the mid-1440s. He was finally driven out in 1445, a year after Onbaung sided with Ava during the Chinese invasions of present-day northern Myanmar. He reemerged in 1452 by staging a successful coup against his cousin Governor Minkhaung I of Toungoo, and gaining control of Ava's main vassal state in the southeast. Styled as "King of Toungoo", Kyawhtin ruled the southeastern region like a sovereign. He was assassinated by one of his men in 1459.
