List of Burmese consorts

This is a list of the queen consorts of the major kingdoms that existed in present-day Myanmar. Only the senior queens—i.e. those with the rank of Nan Mibaya ("Queen of the Palace")—are listed.

Prior to the Konbaung period (1752–1885), the consorts of the Burmese monarchs were organized in three general tiers: Nan Mibaya (နန်းမိဖုရား, lit. "Queen of the Palace", senior queen), Mibaya (Nge) (မိဖုရား (ငယ် ), "(Junior) Queen"), and Kolottaw (ကိုယ်လုပ်တော် , concubine). Starting in the late 18th century, the Konbaung kings inserted the tiers of Hsaungdaw Mibaya (ဆောင်တော် မိဖုရား, lit. "Queen of the Royal Apartment") and Shwe-Yay Hsaung Mibaya (ရွှေရေးဆောင် မိဖုရား, lit. "Queen of the Gilded Chamber") between the tiers of senior queen and junior queen.

Each tier had further rankings within it. The order of precedence within the topmost tier was:

Aside from a few rare exceptions, the Queen of the Southern Palace was the official chief queen consort. In theory, the chief queen consort alone had the right to a white umbrella and to sit with the King on the royal throne.

The names of the queens, if known, are given according to their most well known common name, which often happens to be the primary name used by the royal chronicles. The chronicle reported names of the queens may be their popular/commonly known name (e.g., Pwa Saw, Nanmadaw Me Nu); formal title (e.g., Agga Mahethi, Sanda Dewi); personal name (e.g., Shin Bo-Me, Yun San); or generic name of the office (Hanthawaddy Mibaya, "Queen of Hanthawaddy"; or , "Queen of the Northern Palace"). Finally, the names of the queens with no known records are given as "(Unknown)".
