Pyinmana Township ({{langx|my|ပျဉ်းမနားမြို့နယ်}}) is one of eight townships of Naypyidaw Union Territory, Myanmar.

History

Historically, Pyinmana was formerly known as Ningyan (နင်းကြမ်း). Shan traders who observed the abundance of Terminalia chebula trees around the area named the city Pangmaakna (ပၢင်မၢၵ်ႇၼႃႉ), lit. "myrobalan encampment," from which the Burmese language name Pyinmana is derived.

Pyinmana Township was formerly part of Mandalay Division. The township was designated as one of the original townships constituting the new capital region of Naypyidaw on 26 November 2008 by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA).{{Cite web|url=http://themimu.info/sites/themimu.info/files/documents/TspProfiles_GAD_Pyinmana_2017_MMR.pdf|title=ပျဉ်းမနားသီရိမြို့နယ်ဒေသဆိုင်ရာအချက်အလက်များ|date=2017|website=General Administration Department}}
