Maungdaw Township (Burmese: မောင်တောမြို့နယ် [máʊɴdɔ́ mjo̰nɛ̀]) is a township of Maungdaw District in Rakhine State, Myanmar (Burma). The principal town is Maungdaw.
The township has a large Muslim Rohingya population, roughly 80% of the total population in 2012. In July 2012, the government of Myanmar did not include Rohingyas, classified as stateless Bengali Muslims from Bangladesh, on the government's list of more than 130 ethnic groups. As a result, they have no claim to Burmese citizenship. Other 20% population are Rakhine, Bamar, Kamein, Khami, Daingnet, Mro and Thet.
There are five basic education high schools, three high schools (branches), eight middle schools, one middle school (branch), one affiliated middle school, 16 post-primary schools and 125 primary schools as of 2011.
