Min Dikkha (Burmese: မင်းတိက္ခာ, Burmese pronunciation: [mɪ́ɴ deiʔ kʰà]; 1515–1556) was king of Arakan from 1554 to 1556. He was the heir-apparent of the kingdom for 22 years during the reign of his father King Min Bin. Dikkha was an able military commander who led the Arakanese navy in Min Bin's conquest of Bengal in 1532–1533. He led the Royal Arakanese Navy in the kingdom's wars against Toungoo in 1542, as well as in 1545–47. He built the Koe-thaung Temple, the largest of all temples in Mrauk-U during his short reign.
