Minyekyawdin (Burmese: မင်းရဲကျော်ထင်, pronounced [mɪ́ɴjɛ́tɕɔ̀tʰɪ̀ɴ]; also Minyekyawhtin 1650–1698) was the 12th king of Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar), who reigned from 1673 to 1698. Minyekyawdin was elected by the ministers of the court over several elder princes as king after his step-brother King Narawara's sudden death in 1673. The group of nobles that had supported the king gained power and purged other groups of the nobles and royalties.
The power of the kingdom gradually declined during his quarter-century rule. Towards the end of his reign, the kingdom had lost many outlying areas including Kabaw valley to the Manipuris.[2]
