Saw Thanda Dewi (Burmese: စောသန္တာဒေဝီ [sɔ́θàɴdàdèwì]) was queen consort to four consecutive of kings of Arakan. She was the chief queen of King Dikkha (r. 1554–56). She later became queen to King Saw Hla (r. 1556–64) and King Sekkya (1564–72), both of whom were her step-sons, and later to King Phalaung (r. 1572–93). She led to troops in Mrauk-U against the Burmese invaders during Toungoo-Mrauk-U War.
