Nyaungyan Mintaya Ayedawbon (Burmese: ညောင်ရမ်း မင်းတရား အရေးတော်ပုံ) is an 18th-century Burmese chronicle of King Nyaungyan (r. 1599–1605) of the Toungoo dynasty.[1]

The chronicle was written by an early Konbaung period writer, believed to be either Maha Atula Dammikayaza or Letwe Nawrahta. According to scholarship, it is a compilation of two earlier works: Minye Deibba Eigyin, a chronicle in verse written by Shin Than Kho in 1608, and Maha Yazawin, the standard chronicle of the Toungoo dynasty written in 1724.
