Baw Ngan-Mohn (Burmese: ဘောငံမုန်, Burmese pronunciation: [bɔ́ ŋàɴ mòʊ̯ɴ]; also known as Baw Khon-Hmaing (ဘောခုံမှိုင်း, [bɔ́ kʰòʊɴ m̥áɪɴ]; c. 1370 – 1389/90) was heir-apparent of Hanthawaddy during the late reign of his father King Binnya U. After Binnya U's death in 1384, Ngan-Mohn was put in prison by his half-brother Razadarit who seized the throne with the help of the court. The prince was executed in 1389/90.

He was born to Mwei Ma-Gu-Thauk and King Binnya U of Hanthawaddy. He was named Baw Ngan-Mohn (also known as Baw Khon-Hmaing). His mother was a concubine but later became a queen with the title of Yaza Dewi. He was born c. 1370.

According to the Razadarit Ayedawbon chronicle, the handsome and composed Ngan-Mohn was his father's favorite. The king had anointed Ngan-Mohn as his heir-apparent certainly by 1382, perhaps even earlier. By 1383, the king's health had deteriorated to such a degree that several pretenders began jockeying for power. Binnya U had handed much of the power to his sister Gov. Maha Dewi of Dagon although some factions of the court secretly opposed her. Ngan-Mohn also had a serious rival in his elder half-brother Binnya Nwe, who had been persuaded by Minister Zeik-Bye to raise a rebellion. Ngan-Mohn too saw his aunt Maha Dewi as a threat, and began allying himself with Nwe.

In May 1383, Nwe went on to start a rebellion at Dagon, 60km southwest of the capital Pegu. After the death of Binnya U in January 1384, the court handed the power to Nwe, who took the title Razadarit. Ngan-Mohn did not oppose Nwe's accession. The new king in turn awarded Ngan-Mohn the title of Binnya Dok (ဗညားဒုတ်, [bəɲá doʊ̯ʔ]).
