May Hnin Thwe-Da (Burmese: မေနှင်းသွယ်တာ, Burmese pronunciation: [mè n̥ɪ́ɴ θwɛ̀dà]; also spelled "မည်နှင်းသွယ်ဒါ", "Mi Hnin Thwe-Da") was the chief queen consort of King Wareru of Martaban. The queen was a daughter of King Ram Khamhaeng of Sukhothai. In the 1270s, during her father the king was away on a campaign, Princess Thwe-Da eloped with Wareru, a captain of royal palace guards. The couple fled to Wareru's native Donwun town (present-day Bilin Township, Mon State in Myanmar), then part of the neighboring Pagan Kingdom (Bagan Kingdom).
Her husband seized the local governorship of then provincial capital of Martaban (Mottama) in 1281/82. Thwe-Da became the chief queen consort of Martaban in 1287 when her husband officially revolted against Pagan with her father's support. The rebellion was successful, and her husband went on to consolidate all three Mon-speaking regions of Lower Burma by 1293/94.
Thwe-Da and Wareru had at least one daughter, May Hnin Theindya, who later became a wife of Tarabya of Pegu.
