Baw Kyaw (Template:Lang-mnw, Template:Lang-my, Burmese pronunciation: [bɔ́ dʑò]; c. 1370–1402) was a Hanthawaddy royal and governor of Dala–Twante from 1388/89 to 1402.
Kyaw was appointed governor of Dala in 1388/89 by his half-uncle King Razadarit, who had ordered Kyaw's father Nyi Kan-Kaung executed for suspicion of rebellion.[1] Despite this, Kyaw was a loyal vassal to his uncle. He became a commander in the army, and fought in the war against the northern Ava Kingdom. He died in action outside Prome (Pyay) on 26 December 1402.[note 1][2]
