Smin Awa Naing Min Thiri (Burmese: သမိန် အဝနိုင် မင်းသီရိ, Burmese pronunciation: [θəmèiɰ̃ ʔəwa̰ nàiɰ̃ míɰ̃ θìɹḭ]; also spelled Thamein Inwa Naing (သမိန် အင်းဝနိုင်, lit. "Lord of Victory over Ava"); also known as Awa Mingyi (အဝ မင်းကြီး, lit. "Great Lord of Ava")) was an early 15th-century senior Hanthawaddy court official and military commander. A trusted adviser of King Razadarit, Awa Naing is best remembered in Burmese history for the 1415 battle of Dala–Twante in which his undermanned regiment mortally wounded Crown Prince Minye Kyawswa of Ava.
He was the father of Queen Mi Ta-Lat, a principal consort of King Binnya Dhammaraza.
