Saw Mya Kan ({{langx|my|စောမြကန်}}}, {{IPA|my|sɔ́ mja̰ gàɴ|pron}}) was a principal queen of King Sithu II of the Pagan Dynasty of Myanmar (Burma). She was the mother of King Htilominlo.Than Tun 1964: 129

Chronicles say that Htilominlo's mother was a daughter of a gardener, and not Queen Mya Kan.Maha Yazawin Vol. 1 2006: 212Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 134Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 317–318 But inscriptional evidence shows that Queen Mya Kan was the mother of Zeya Theinkha (personal name of Htilominlo) and Saw Min Hla.
