Princess Myat Phaya Galay (Burmese: မြတ်ဖုရားကလေး; 25 April 1887 – 3 March 1936), was a Burmese princess and senior member of the Royal House of Konbaung. She was the fourth daughter of the last ruling king of Burma, King Thibaw and Queen Supayalat.
The princess was called "Rebel Princess" by the British as she wrote a manifesto demanding her father kingdom and the royal gems and jewellery taken on the annexation of the country. She returned to Burma from Ratnagiri in 1915, and ordered to reside in Moulmein in 1932.
She married Ko Ko Naing, a former monk in Rangoon on 1 July 1920. She died at her mansion on West Cantonment Road, Moulmein on 3 March 1936 and her husband died in Rangoon in 1959. Her tomb is located near Kyaik Than Lan Pagoda, Moulmein (present day Mawlamyine).
She has four sons and two daughters:
