Zein Pun (Burmese: ဇိတ်ပွန်, pronounced [zeiʔ pʊ̀ɴ]; 1295–1331) was a court official at the Martaban Palace of Hanthawaddy Kingdom, who seized the throne for seven days in 1331, following the death of King Saw Zein in the battlefield of Prome.[2] Zein Pun's reign was short. Saw Zein's chief queen Sanda Min Hla organized a putsch seven days later, and handed the throne to Saw E, son of Saw O and the princess of Sukhothai.
