Pinwe (Burmese: ပင်ဝယ်ရွာ) is a village in Indaw Township, Katha District, in the Sagaing Region of northern-central Myanmar.
The village has a railway station on the Mandalay–Myitkyina line.[1]
During the Burma campaign it was the site of a three-week-long battle, which resulted in Pinwe being captured by the 36th Infantry Division, from Japanese forces, on 30 November 1944.[2] [3]
